Biography

Vaughan Sivell is an Award-Winning Producer, Director and Writer. He runs the production label Western Edge Pictures.

Vaughan’s latest feature documentary Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds will be released on Discovery Plus later this year.

As a producer he recently released Alice Lowe’s second feature, TIMESTALKER, which premiered in SXSW in 2024 and prior to that he produced GAZZA, a two part documentary for the BBC about the media pressure faced by the footballer Paul Gascoigne in the 1990’s.

He is currently in prep on his first feature THE PELOTON, an elevated slasher adventure film about four young men hunted by a murderous team of fanatical cyclists.

After establishing a successful TV writing and development career, Vaughan’s first feature film, THIRD STAR starring Benedict Cumberbatch, became a break-out hit in 2011.

In 2015 Vaughan made his directorial debut with MR CALZAGHE, a documentary about the Boxing legend.

The film was released by eOne to great critical acclaim and won three BAFTA Cymru awards including Best Director and Special Achievement in Film Craft.

Alongside his own directing and writing, Vaughan has produced a diverse slate of award-winning films for WEP including: THE CANAL (Dir. Ivan Kavanagh) which premiered at Tribeca in 2014, and PREVENGE (Dir. Alice Lowe), which opened Venice Critics Week in 2016, and RARE BEASTS (Dir. Billie Piper) which also premiered in Venice Critics Week in 2019.
