(This profile from Spaced series 2 presspack)
Edgar Wright (Director), 26, has been making comedy films since he was 14. His creative streak continued through college where with the help of his school friends, he made his first ever no-budget, feature-length film A Fistful of Fingers, a Western spoof shown on Sky Movies and put on limited theatrical release. He was 20 years old.

This paved the way for Edgar's foray into television comedy and a move to the Paramount Comedy Channel, where he directed sketches in Mash and Peas and then Asylum, a black comedy in which he first joined forces with Spaced's Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson. Edgar's talent soon took him to the BBC, to work on Alexei Sayle's Merry Go Round, Is It Bill Bailey? and Murder Most Horrid, as well as 1998's French & Saunders Christmas Special. Series 1 of Spaced saw Edgar returning to his creative roots when he teamed up with writers Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson.
