Question: Have Guy Maddin and Mel Brooks both been directors?
Context: Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997) is a fantasy romance film; the fourth feature directed by Guy Maddin.  The screenplay was written by George Toles and inspired by the novel "Pan" (1894) by Knut Hamsun, with an additional literary touchstones being the short story "La Vénus d'Ille" (1837) by Prosper Mérimée.  "Twilight of the Ice Nymphs" was Maddin's second feature film in colour and his first shot in 35mm, on a budget of $1.5 million.  As seen in Noam Gonick's documentary "Waiting for Twilight", Maddin was dissatisfied with the filmmaking process due to creative interference from his producers. The Heart of the World is a short film written and directed by Guy Maddin, produced for the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival.  Maddin was one of a number of directors (including Atom Egoyan and David Cronenberg) commissioned to make four-minute short films that would screen prior to the various feature films at the 2000 festival.  After hearing rumours that other directors were planning films with a small number of shots, Maddin decided that his film would instead contain over 100 shots per minute, and enough plot for a feature-length film.  Maddin then wrote and shot "The Heart of the World" in the style of Russian constructivism, taking the commission at its literal face value, as a call to produce a propaganda film.  Even in its expanded, 6-minute version, "The Heart of the World" runs at a breakneck speed, averaging roughly two shots per second, a pace intensified by the background music, "Time, Forward! " by Georgy Sviridov. Guy Maddin, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (born February 28, 1956) is a Canadian screenwriter, director, author, cinematographer and film editor of both features and short films, as well as an installation artist, from Winnipeg, Manitoba.  His most distinctive quality is his penchant for recreating the look and style of silent or early-sound-era films.  Since completing his first film in 1985, Maddin has become one of Canada's most well-known and celebrated film-makers. Careful (1992) is the third feature film directed by Guy Maddin.  It is Maddin's first colour film, shot on 16mm for a budget of $1.1 million.  At one point, Martin Scorsese had agreed to act in the film, as Count Knotkers, but bowed out to complete "Cape Fear".  Maddin pursued casting hockey star Bobby Hull, but ended up casting Paul Cox. Archangel (1990) is the second feature film directed by Guy Maddin.  The film fictionalizes, in a general sense, historical conflict related to the Bolshevik Revolution occurring in the Arkhangelsk (Archangel) region of Russia, a basic concept presented to Maddin by John Harvie.  The film marks Maddin's first formal collaboration with co-screenwriter George Toles. Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary is a 2002 horror film directed by Guy Maddin, budgeted at $1.7 million and produced for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as a dance film documenting a performance by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet adapting Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula".  Maddin elected to shoot the dance film in a fashion uncommon for such films, through close-ups and using jump cuts.  Maddin also stayed close to the source material of Stoker's novel, emphasizing the xenophobia in the reactions of the main characters to Dracula (played by Zhang Wei-Qiang in Maddin's film). The Saddest Music in the World is a 2003 Canadian film directed by Guy Maddin, budgeted at $3.8-million (a large budget relative to the average Canadian film) and shot over 24 days.  The film was Maddin's first collaboration with Isabella Rossellini, who subsequently appeared in a number of Maddin's films, and co-created a film with him about her father Roberto Rossellini. Seances is a 2016 interactive project by filmmaker and installation artist Guy Maddin, co-creators Evan and Galen Johnson, and the National Film Board of Canada, combining Maddin's recreations of lost films with an algorithmic film generator that allows for multiple storytelling permutations.  Maddin began the project in 2012 in Paris, France, shooting footage for 18 films at the Centre Georges Pompidou (this installation was titled "Spiritismes", the French word for “seances,” leading to press confusion about the project title) and continued shooting footage for an additional 12 films at the Phi Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  The Paris and Montreal shoots each took three weeks, with Maddin completing one short film of approximately 15-20 minutes each day.  The shoots were also presented as art installation projects, during which Maddin, along with the cast and crew, held a “séance” during which Maddin "invite[d] the spirit of a lost photoplay to possess them." My Winnipeg is a 2007 film directed and written by Guy Maddin with dialogue by George Toles.  Described by Maddin as a "docu-fantasia," that melds "personal history, civic tragedy, and mystical hypothesizing," the film is a surrealist mockumentary about Winnipeg, Maddin's home town.  A "New York Times" article described the film's unconventional take on the documentary style by noting that it "skates along an icy edge between dreams and lucidity, fact and fiction, cinema and psychotherapy." Mel Brooks (born Melvin Kaminsky; June 28, 1926) is an American actor, writer, producer, director, comedian, and composer.  He is known as a creator of broad film farces and comic parodies.  Brooks began his career as a comic and a writer for the early TV variety show "Your Show of Shows".  He became well known as part of the comedy duo with Carl Reiner in the comedy skit "The 2000 Year Old Man".  He also created, with Buck Henry, the hit television comedy series "Get Smart", which ran from 1965 to 1970.
