Iconic Directors & Film Makers (Advocates Of Change Series)
Synopsis
Martin Scorsese: His films range from 1970?s cult classics like Taxi Driver to 90?s mobster film Goodfellas. He attributes his love of film to hours of sitting in dark cinemas as a child, due to debilitating asthma, which prevented him from playing. David Lynch: Avant-garde director Lynch is perhaps best known for the odd and disturbing Blue Velvet, but it was for his chilling ?70?s film Eraserhead that he first received cult status. Alfred Hitchcock: His knack for thrilling and chilling audiences, most times in the space of one movie, has given him the nickname "the master of suspense". Quentin Tarantino - Possibly the most distinctive American director for his violent style and uncompromising subject matter, Tarantino seemed to blast onto the scene in the mid-nineties, where he quickly gained cult status. Steven Spielberg: He?s known as the most influential director in the industry, and is undoubtedly the king of the blockbuster, with a slew of highest-grossing films to his name.
