 Andrew Macdonald has been one of the most powerful British producers since the 1994 black comedy hit, BAFTA-winner Shallow Grave (1994) and the even more cultishly successful Trainspotting (1996), on both of which (and on the less successful A Life Less Ordinary, 1997) he was associated with Figment Films, with director Danny Boyle and writer John Hodge. He and Boyle were executive producers on Twin Town (d. Kevin Allen, 1997) and he negotiated a deal with 20th Century Fox to invest substantially in Figment/Boyle's The Beach (UK/US, 2000). In 1997, he and Duncan Kenworthy founded the mini-studio, DNA Films, which got off to a poorly received start with Beautiful Creatures (d. Bill Eagles, 2001). He is the grandson of Emeric Pressburger and brother of Kevin Macdonald. Brian McFarlane, Encyclopedia of British Film
