Evan moved to California in his early 20s with a group of close friends to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker. Evan worked for Internet start-up STIM TV where he conceptualized and starred in the edgy sitcom Boss Of The Glory.

Evan has directed many music videos and worked as a cinematographer on feature-length horror film Placebo and the shorts Before Breakfast and Savanna.

Bellflower, an intensely personal story incorporating many real life events, was Evan’s feature-length directorial debut. Bellflower became Evan’s true labor of love, causing him to sacrifice almost everything, including selling off all of his personal belongings and living in an abandoned wing of an office building to fund the film.

Bellflower follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love.

Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity, and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies which in Bellflower are filled with cool customized cars, flame throwers and home bult wepons of mass destruction.
