Ian Cottage is a British film director and writer.
The British Film Institute has described Ian Cottage as one of the top six new directors in the UK. Ewen Bremner (Julien Donkey Boy, Trainspotting) described Sleep as: "a big, searching serious film, which in my opinion breaks out of the genre and shows us where the new filmmakers are leading".
Cottage has made 21 films, 10 of which were specifically made to be broadcast on British television. In recent years, he has turned to longer dramatic forms and has written and directed three in the last three years.
Composer Roger Redgate has provided the score for many of Cottage's films, including the short film "Small Gestures" with Derek Jarman.
Cottage has recently completed "Keel" (2008), a ghost story. He is currently working on Blackbird for production in 2009.
Ian Cottage currently works at Northumbria University, as a lecturer in Media, Communications and Culture.

Famous quotes containing the word cottage:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
