His 2012 film Kelly + Victor, produced by Janine Marmot, saw Evans awarded the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer at the 2014 BAFTAs.

Early life

Evans was born in St Davids, Pembrokeshire and attended Ysgol Dewi Sant.[2] He later studied art in Carmarthen and Newport before moving to London.

Evans worked with Griffiths on parts of the script adaptation.

The story details the relationship between two young people who meet in a Liverpool nightclub and the murky worlds they both inhabit.

The film attracted attention for its storyline, which included a sadomasochistic relationship.

Evans said of the film before winning the award that it could be a "difficult" watch.

In his acceptance speech, he thanked his family and friends, adding: "To my mum, who sat me in front of Hitchcock films when I was a kid.

"To my dad, who drove with me on a coach for 50 miles to an art college.

"These moments are the reason I'm here now."

Meanwhile screenwriter Sarah Woolner, who grew up in Swansea, won the British Short Animation award for Sleeping with the Fishes which she made with producer James Walker and director Yousif Al-Khalifa.

She said it had been entirely unexpected.

"We didn't expect it and there was a delayed reaction. But we were totally elated," she said.
