Lee Haven Jones

Born in the South Wales valleys, Lee studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Drama at the University of Exeter where he graduated with a First.  His first film, DAD A FI, earned him a nomination for Best Documentary at the 2009 Celtic Media Festival.  He has since directed a number of fiction projects, both series and one-off dramas, for the BBC, ITV and S4C, with recent credits including THE LONG CALL, DOCTOR WHO and THE BAY. Lee’s work has been nominated for a number of awards: he has been awarded a BAFTA for Best Director at BAFTA Wales twice, for his work on THE INDIAN DOCTOR in 2013, and again in 2016 for thriller 35 DAYS.  He completed a TV movie, GALESA (set in the Welsh-speaking heartlands of Patagonia) for S4C in 2015, and his short film, WANT IT, has screened at festivals worldwide - including London’s BFI Flare, the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and the Melbourne Queer Film Festival.  Lee has recently completed his BFI-backed debut feature, THE FEAST which is distributed by IFC Films (US) and Picturehouse (UK). Lee is represented by Jack Thomas at Independent Talent.
