Early Life (1988-2006)
Harry Philip Boast was born in North Devon, England in 1988. His father, Philip Boast, is an author, and his mother, Rosalind Boast, works as a teacher. He attended Combe Martin Primary School and Ilfracombe College.

Further Education (2006-2009)
He went to study acting at Swansea Metropolitan University in 2006, graduating in 2009. Through connections at the university, he got the chance to work with Ken Russell on his final film, Boudica Bites Back.

Film Career (2010-present)
In 2010, Boast co-founded Turnshoe Productions with his girlfriend (and future wife) Caylee Coote and his father, Philip Boast. In 2011, they created a series of 'Dialogue Tracks' with scripts submitted to Amazon Studios, and were awarded a prize of $5000 for their take on a script entitled Dancaster's Pardon. The following year, he moved back to Swansea with Caylee Coote. They created a series of short films, each more ambitious than the last. In 2013, they produced their most successful short film, Zero, a zombie genre short film about the moral decline of humanity. It went on to be watched over 240,000 times on YouTube alone.

In early 2014, Boast set out to direct his first feature film, The Enemy, about Romeo and Juliet in exile. The script was written by his father, Philip. The film was shot in 10 days at Boast's house in Swansea. It was initially intended for a 2016 release, but wasn't officially released until 5th May 2017. In the intervening years, Boast also directed various corporate and music videos.

In September 2017, Boast set out to cast his next project, a Science Fiction web series called ExHumans, intended for release on Amazon Video. Georgia Theodoulou and Steve Grey were cast and production began in November 2017. Post production was completed in January 2018 and ExHumans was released in the UK and USA on February 9th 2018.
