Question: Are the directors of both films The Big Picture (1989 Film) and The Love Doctor from the same country?

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. <SEP> The Big Picture( French original title" L' Homme qui voulait vivre sa vie The man who wanted to live his life") is a 2010 French psychological thriller directed by Éric Lartigau, and starring Romain Duris, Marina Foïs, Niels Arestrup and Catherine Deneuve.

Christopher Haden- Guest, 5th Baron Haden- Guest( born February 5, 1948) is a British- American screenwriter, composer, musician, director, actor, and comedian who holds dual British and American citizenship. The series of films began with" This Is Spinal Tap", and continued with" Waiting for Guffman Best In ShowA Mighty Wind For Your Consideration", and" Mascots".
