Ellie Gear

Innovative and audacious, Ellie Gear redefined the boundaries of independent cinema. Born in 1970 in Manchester, England, Gear has been active in the film industry since 1995, predominantly working within the realms of drama and dark comedy. His most notable films include 'Beneath the Underdog' and 'Solitary Confinement', both of which have won him critical acclaim but no major festival awards, yet his unique authorial style of gritty realism combined with biting wit is highly praised. Ellie Gear, with his unflinching eye for the human condition, has always been a director who finds beauty in the shadows, capturing life's complexities with a stark honesty and raw humor that is truly his own.
