埃文·麦克纳里，Evan grew up in a religious cult where he assisted exorcisms from a young age and had no access to secular movies or music until his mid-teens. After high school, he made up for lost time by studying art in San Francisco, logging thousands of miles and countless audio books as a cross-country trucker and earning a film MFA at Florida State.Next stop was Los Angeles, where he worked at ICM and Anonymous Content for a number of years before moving into writing and directing.
