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:
“After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
