After a career in the theatre - working for such esteemed companies as Joint Stock and the Royal Court - Boyle went to the BBC and produced dramas in Belfast such as Alan Clarke''s Elephant, as well as directing Mr Wroes Virgins.
Shallow Grave announced the arrival of a dynamic new talent to British cinema – a reputation that was confirmed with the blistering Trainspotting - the zeitgeist film of the 90s. The succeeding films - A Life Less Ordinary, The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine and Slumdog Millionaire - established him as the leading director of his generation -one for whom the collaboration between director, producer and writer was of the essence.
The Danny Boyle who emerges from these interviews is frank, funny, charming and wholeheartedly inspiring.
Slumdog Millionaire was a huge international hit - the film won eight Academy Awards, the most for any film of 2008. It also won seven BAFTA Awards, five Critic’s Choice Awards and four Golden Globes. Danny Boyle has become a huge household name - his films have received both critical acclaim and massive commercial success.
