- American Filmmaker
- Grew up in Portland, OR (very influential in his films)
- Attended RISD for visual art, switched major to cinematography
- most influential filmmaker to him was Andy Warhol
- His successful early indie films include Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho
- His breakout film was Good Will Hunting which won several academy awards
- Began making experimental arthouse films again, such as Elephant which won best film at Cannes
- Is a musician, has released two albums
- common themes of disturbed youth and homosexuality
I personally enjoy his ability to tell stories and his incredible character development. His camera work is often simple and unstyalized, but still using things like panning shots and fonts in nearly all of his films.
