Damian Harris was educated at a Benedictine monastery, and later attended the London International Film School. Around that time, he filmed his first short film, Greasy Lake (1988), which won several awards. He also took a summer course at the New York Film School on the basics of screenwriting, and wrote a number of screenplays until he met producer Andy Karsch, for whom he wrote a screenplay based on a novel by Martin Amis. With his and Eric Felliner’s support, Damian filmed The Rachel Papers (1989), which opened some doors for him in the UK, but which was even better received in the USA. He traveled to the US and made three films: Deceived (1991), Bad Company (1995), and Mercy (2000). There he started a project about missing children, but never received the necessary support until, many years later, he was able to finance it with his own money. This film is Gardens of the Night.
