Question: Are the directors of both films Oculus (Film) and Hoop-La 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> He is best known for his horror films, all of which he directed, wrote, and edited, including" Absentia"( 2011)," Oculus"( 2013)," HushBefore I Wake"( all 2016)," Gerald ’s Game"( 2017), and" Doctor Sleep"( 2019).

Mike Flanagan( born May 20, 1978) is an American filmmaker. Flanagan's work has attracted the praise of critics for his directing, focus on characters and themes rarely depicted in horror, and lack of reliance on jumpscares; Stephen King and William Friedkin, among others, have praised him. He is married to actress Kate Siegel, who has been featured in all of his works since" Oculus"( with the notable exception of" Before I Wake"); they also wrote the screenplay of" Hush" together. <SEP> It is based on his short film" Oculus: Chapter 3 – The Man with the Plan", and stars Karen Gillan as a young woman who is convinced that an antique mirror is responsible for the death and misfortune that her family suffered.
