His former partner Sabrina Broadbent wrote a novel, "Descent", which "The Manchester Guardian" describes as "closely based on their life together. Or rather, not together, because the husband in the book is understood to be a workaholic film director who keeps disappearing in pursuit of interesting projects". ("A Winterbottom's Tale", February 1, 2004) Went to college with director Marc Evans (Resurrection Man (1998), My Little Eye (2002), Trauma (2004/I)).

(2005), and Freedomland (2006) and did extensive work before leaving each of those projects. Attended Oxford before going to Bristol University to study film. Was approached to direct Good Will Hunting (1997) for $1.5 million but declined. Hoped to use the sets of Danny Boyle's film Sunshine on the production's off days to shoot his own science fiction comedy. Permission was never worked out and Winterbottom's film was canceled.
