Tyler Evans is a director and screenwriter based in Toronto, Ontario.

During his childhood, to escape the mundanity of the suburbs in Mississauga, he would go to the theatres weekly, which is where he discovered his love for storytelling. Tyler’s first short film Teething (2019) was accepted into 2019’s Reelworld Film Festival. He wrote, directed, produced and edited the film.

He has just completed his second short film, I Live Here, which he has received funding from Ontario Arts Council, NFB and CBC. It will be streaming on CBC Gem in 2022. His short film DIASPORA premiered at TIFF 2022.

Tyler’s main goal is to create original stories centred around Black people and people of colour. He is currently writing his first feature film.
