Edgar Wright Biography

Edgar Wright has evolved from a young film geek wanting to prove himself to one of the most sought-after geeks working in film today. Raised in Somerset England as a young teenager he embarked on making short films with a Super 8 camera. He continued to make many more shorts after he won a Video 8 camera in a Comic Relief contest awarded him for his film I Want to Get Into the Movies which was an animated allegory about wheelchair access.
At age 20 he directed A Fistful of Fingers a no-budget feature film starring local teen actors and shot on 16mm. The unlikely British Western was put into limited theatrical release and paved the way for his foray into television with the Paramount Comedy Channel. While there Mr. Wright directed the sketch show Mash and Peas with future Little Britain stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams; and the sitcom Asylum for which he joined forces with future collaborators Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes.
While still in his early 20s he directed several comedy shows for the BBC including Merry-Go-Round Is It Bill Bailey? Murder Most Horrid Sir Bernard’s Stately Homes and French and Saunders.
