Question: Do both films, Hesher (film) and Hallelujah the Hills (film), have the directors who are 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> Hesher is a 2010 American dark comedy/ drama film co-written and directed by Spencer Susser and starring Joseph Gordon- Levitt, Rainn Wilson, Natalie Portman( who also produced the film) and Devin Brochu. It was written by Susser, David Michôd and Brian Charles Frank. Screened at the Sundance Film Festival January 22, 2010, the film was released in the United States on May 13, 2011. Most of the songs on the film's soundtrack are tracks from heavy metal bands Metallica and Motörhead. <SEP> Jack Shea (August 1, 1928 – April 28, 2013) was an American film and television director.
