Rowan Athale

Rowan Athale is a writer/director. His debut feature film The Rise, starring Luke Treadaway, Iwan Rheon and Timothy Spall was released in September 2013. His second feature as writer, Revolt, which will be directed by Joe Miale, tells the story of humankind’s last stand against a cataclysmic alien invasion.

As a Breakthrough Brit, Rowan was mentored by Mike Newell and Danny Boyle.

Rowan says: “Your agents and the producers you work with are fonts of knowledge, but there is no substitute for discussing your career and receiving advice from your fellow directors, particularly those you admire…it’s been great to have the opportunity to hear other film maker’s experiences and how they relate to my own.”
