Biographie:
Finn A. Evans is an American-born, Bulgarian-raised writer and director who holds both a BA in Media Studies and an MA in Theatre Directing from the University of East Anglia. His focus is on creating stories - through film, radio drama, and the stage - which explore misrepresented demographics and rarely discussed topics.
