28 DAYS LATER is the sixth collaboration between director DANNY BOYLE and producer ANDREW MACDONALD. Through Macdonald’s company, Figment, they made SHALLOW GRAVE, TRAINSPOTTING, A LIFE LESS ORDINARY, ALIEN LOVE TRIANGLE and THE BEACH and acted as co-executive producers of TWIN TOWN, directed by Kevin Allen.
Boyle has since directed two films for the BBC, “Strumpet,” starring Christopher Eccleston; and “Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise,” starring Timothy Spall.
In 1997, Macdonald formed DNA Films, with Duncan Kenworthy. DNA productions include THE PAROLE OFFICER, HEARTLANDS and 28 DAYS LATER.
