The British Film Institute has described Ian Cottage as one of the top six new directors in the United Kingdom. Ewen Bremner (Julien Donkey Boy, Trainspotting) described Sleep as: "a big, searching serious film, which in my opinion breaks out of the genre and shows us where the new filmmakers are leading". Cottage has made 21 films, 10 of which were specifically made to be broadcast on British television In recent years, he has turned to longer dramatic forms and has written and directed three in the last three years.
Composer Roger Redgate has provided the score for many of Cottage"s films, including the short film "Small Gestures" with Derek Jarman.
He is currently working on Blackbird for production in 2009. Ian Cottage currently works at Northumbria University, as a lecturer in Media, Communications and Culture.
