Ahead of this year’s BAFTAs, HeyUGuys had the privilege to catch up with the writer-director of Victor + Kelly Kieran Evans who is nominated for the Best British Debut BAFTA on Sunday the 16th February. It is a nomination he never expected, but one that he admits has put him a great position.
Whilst the purpose of our conversation was his BAFTA nomination, in speaking with Kieran I uncovered a compelling story of his journey towards his nomination for outstanding debut. Behind the BAFTA gold mask lies a story of a mother and her son’s love for cinema, their appreciation of cinematic magic, a filmmakers reverence for the craft of filmmaking, and the desire to create stories that have and will continue to take us out of our space.
A fitting way to begin proceedings would be to ask about the genesis of Kelly + Victor, which has culminated in...

Underworld's Karl Hyde has made a feature-length documentary about his travels through Essex – here's the first glimpse of the film's trailer
Here's something you don't see every day: Karl Hyde, he of shouty techno act Underworld, has gone off and made a rather moving, artful documentary essay about the Essex borderlands, following the route of the river Roding down to the docks on the Thames estuary. Naturally, the film developed from a record project: Hyde has a solo album, Edgeland, due out next month.
Hyde has got together with director Kieran Evans, who is best known as the co-director of another music-inspired documentary, the Saint-Etienne-scored Finisterre from 2002. (Evans hus just completed his fiction-feature debut, Kelly+ Victor, due out later this year.) They have taken their cue very much from the urban travelogue school of Patrick Keiller and his Robinson films; The Outer Edges is a finely balanced mix of interview,...
