More on Justin Edgar
Description from Wikipedia:
Justin Edgar is a British film director.
After a childhood spent in dark rooms watching films, Edgar graduated from Portsmouth University in 1996 with a First Class degree in Film.
In 1998 he directed the short comedy Dirty Phonecalls for ITV’s First Cut scheme. It became a worldwide festival hit and won the 1998 BBC Drama Award at the Birmingham Film Festival.
The success of Dirty Phonecalls led to his first feature film Large, which was released in UK cinemas in 2002. Shot on a budget of £1.4 Million, Large was backed by Film Four and went straight in at number one in the UK video charts. It sold to over twenty countries around the world.
Since then he has written and directed short films and television programmes and developed a distinctive directing style.
His 2005 short Special People won Best Film at the 2005 Chicago Film Festival, Best Drama at the 2006 Royal Television Society Awards, the BBC New Filmmakers Award and was shortlisted for the 2007 Oscars, BAFTAS and Turner Classic Movies Prize Shorts. Also shot in 2005, The Ends won best short at the 2005 Raindance Film Festival in London and was nominated for the Golden Horseman Award at Dresden Film Festival.
His second feature film Special People premiered at the 2007 Edinburgh International Film Festival in competition for the Michael Powell Award, gaining great public and critical acclaim.
Special People opened the 2008 London Disability Film Festival and won best film at the Britspotting Film Festival in Berlin. Special People will be seen in UK cinemas later in the year.
