2. Christopher Nolan:
Best known for his cerebral, often nonlinear story-telling, acclaimed writer-director Christopher
Nolan was born on July 30, 1970 in London, England. Over the course of 15 years of film-making,
Nolan has gone from low-budget independent films to working on some of the biggest
blockbusters ever made.
At 7 years old, Nolan began making short movies with his father's Super-8 camera. While
studying English Literature at University College London, he shot 16-millimetre films at U.C.L.'s
film society, where he learned the guerrilla techniques he would later use to make his first
feature, Following (1998), on a budget of $6,000. The noir thriller was recognized at a number of
international film festivals prior to its theatrical release, and gained Nolan enough credibility that
he was able to gather substantial financing for his next film.
