Question: Do both films Rushmore (Film) and Morgan'S Ferry have the directors that share the same nationality?

Massachusetts- raised Sam Pillsbury emigrated to New Zealand at the age of 14. Aged 23, he began working at the Government- owned National Film Unit, joining a group of emerging filmmakers who were investigating new subjects and styles. Pillsbury directed seven films at the National Film Unit, including a multi-faceted study of artist Ralph Hotere, and a satirical look at workplace relations( Men and Supermen). Sam Pillsbury is an American film director and producer. He was also part of the directing team on Commonwealth Games chronicle Games 74, and worked both on set and at the editing bench for Paul Maunder's Gone Up North for a While. Pillsbury went solo in 1975. Documentary Birth with R.D. Laing won awards on both sides of the Tasman, and controversy in England and the United States. The film featured controversial Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing critiquing Western medical handling of childbirth. Pillsbury also worked on four documentaries for TV slot Seven Days, which variously looked into life for a solo mother, an ex-convict, hospital patients, and young Māori in the city. More TV docos followed, then in 1978, Against the Lights, a short drama based on a Witi Ihimaera tale. Pillsbury's Round the Bays doco The Greatest Run on Earth won awards at festivals in Chicago and Torino. Pillsbury's feature film debut in 1981 was with The Scarecrow, based on the gothic novel by Ronald Hugh Morrieson. Presented through the eyes of two teenage boys, the film chronicles the arrival in a 50s town of a mysterious stranger( played by American movie legend John Carradine). In 1982 The Scarecrow became the first Kiwi film to win invitation to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, in the non-competitive Director's Fortnight section. Teen star Jono Smith later reinvented himself as a cinematographer in England. Pillsbury then worked extensively on a screen adaptation of end of the world sci- fi novel The Quiet Earth, before handing the project to director Geoff Murphy after deciding it needed fresh eyes( he later joked at being one of the only directors who had fired himself). Instead Pillsbury helmed 1880s immigrant tale Heart of the High Country for TV( based on a novel by Elizabeth Gowans), then segued into period road movie Starlight Hotel, which starred Smash Palace discovery Greer Robson. Since Starlight Hotel, Pillsbury has directed extensively, mainly on American tele- movies. He returned to Kiwi moviemaking in 2000 for Crooked Earth, the tale of a clash between two Māori: a militant drug- dealer, and former military man Temuera Morrison. Pillsbury's other features include Free Willy 3: The Rescue, 2008 road movie Endless Bummer and Where The Red Fern Grows. These days Pillsbury has a second career as a winemaker. In 2000 he and a business partner planted a Vineyard in Cochise County, Arizona, and in 2006 sold it to a group headed by the lead singer for rock group Tool. Pillsbury Wine Company was launched soon afterwards, with his new vineyard& tasting room across the road in Willcox, Arizona, and a Tasting Room in Old Town Cottonwood, Arizona. Pillsbury's wife is the daughter of sculptor Geny Dignac. <SEP> Morgan's Ferry is a 2001 American crime drama film starring Billy Zane, Henry Rollins, Kelly McGillis, Roscoe Lee Browne, Johnny Galecki and Muse Watson, directed by Sam Pillsbury. <SEP> Jack Shea (August 1, 1928 – April 28, 2013) was an American film and television director. He was the president of the Directors Guild of America from 1997 to 2002. <SEP> His films are known for their distinctive visual and narrative styles, and he is regarded by some critics as a modern-day example of the auteur. Three of his films —" The Royal TenenbaumsMoonrise Kingdom", and" The Grand Budapest Hotel" —appeared in BBC's 2016 poll of the greatest films since 2000. Anderson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for" The Royal Tenenbaums" in 2001," Moonrise Kingdom" in 2012 and" The Grand Budapest Hotel" in 2014, as well as the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for" Fantastic Mr. Fox" in 2009 and the stop- motion animated" Isle of Dogs" in 2018.

He also received the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2015. He currently runs the production company American Empirical Pictures, which he founded in 1998. Anderson won the Silver Bear for Best Director for" Isle of Dogs" in 2018. Wesley Wales Anderson( born May 1, 1969) is an American filmmaker. <SEP> The film was co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson. The soundtrack features several songs by bands associated with the British Invasion of the 1960s. Filming began in November 1997 around Houston, Texas. The film helped launch the careers of Anderson and Schwartzman while establishing a" second career" for Murray as a respected actor in independent cinema. Rushmore is a 1998 American coming- of- age comedy- drama film directed by Wes Anderson about an eccentric teenager named Max Fischer( Jason Schwartzman in his film debut), his friendship with rich industrialist Herman Blume( Bill Murray), and their love in common for elementary school teacher Rosemary Cross( Olivia Williams). At the 1999 Independent Spirit Awards, Anderson won the Best Director award and Murray won Best Supporting Male award. Murray also earned a nomination for Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture. Starting from" Rushmore", Murray has been Anderson's collaborator in every subsequent film of the director. While the box office results were modest, the film had a positive reception among film critics. " Rushmore" is considered one of Anderson's finest films. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being deemed" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". <SEP> I Want Your Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
