James Elwyn Marquand (born 21 September 1964) is a British film editor and director.[2] He was born in Hammersmith, west London, the son of Welsh director Richard Marquand (Jagged Edge, Return of the Jedi)[3][better source needed], and his first wife Josephine (née Elwyn-Jones), an English screenwriter. His paternal uncle David Marquand, paternal grandfather Hilary Marquand, and maternal grandfather Elwyn Jones were all Welsh Labour Party MPs, and his maternal grandmother Pearl Binder, who was of Russian-Jewish and Ukrainian-Jewish descent, was an author and illustrator[citation needed]. As a child, much of his time was spent on film sets observing his father. Later, he was an editor on his father's final film Hearts of Fire. His first short film, The Lesson (1998), was nominated for a BAFTA Kodak Award[citation needed]. He moved on to feature films when he wrote, directed, and produced his first film, Dead Man's Cards (2006).
