Jon S Baird
Aberdeen, Scotland, born 1972
At the age of 40, Jon won Best New Director (BAFTA Scotland) for his film Filth starring James McAvoy, based on the best-selling novel by Irvine Welsh. He recalls: “Filth was extremely difficult to finance, due to Irvine Welsh’s edgy source material, therefore for it to do well, both critically and commercially, made all those years of hard work well worthwhile.”
