"... while most fan films are relatively straightforward homage, Mather's movies are strikingly original, charmingly amateurish and defiantly noncommercial ...", Leander Kahney, Wired News.

Evan Mather spent much of his childhood running around south Louisiana with an eight-millimeter silent camera staging hitchhikings and assorted buggery. Without a doubt the first in his high school to parody trendy European art films, he placed first in a local film festival at the tender age of 18, before graduating to a camcorder – with sound.

In 1995 while living in Seattle, Evan published possibly the very first Internet web site dedicated to online distriubtion of independent films. Posted in low-res QuickTime format were a few vintage Super-8 films - Pinecone, Meeting Elvis Costello, and Sightings - that he had recently re-edited on a Power Macintosh.
Since that time, Evan's work has been featured in dozens of publications – including Newsweek, The New York Times, RES, Jetzt, Ciak, Stern, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today – and on CNN, MTV, SCI-FI Channel, and NPR - and at film festivals around the world.

In 1999, he began an initiative to use the power of the Internet as a collaboration medium, reaching out to other independent artists. This has resulted in the creation of a virtual film studio with actors, composers and writers across the United States and Europe.

He has also had the priviledge of sharing his experiences with students at forums at MIT, UCLA, and in South Korea.
Evan and his action figures currently reside in Los Angeles, USA.

Reviews and Other Info:

"... you would probably expect a collection of shorts with titles like Buena Vista Fight Club, Les Pantless Menace and Booger to be a little on the offbeat side, but even so, this set of recent works by animator/filmmaker Evan Mather often proves downright inscrutable ... adventurous viewers will be rewarded with a cutting-edge mix of traditional stop-motion animation and digitally-tweaked weirdness ...", Scott Von Doviak, Film Threat.
