Question: Are the directors of both films The High Cost Of Living and Gremlins 2: The New Batch 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> Gremlins 2: The New Batch is a 1990 American comedy horror film, and the sequel to the 1984 film" Gremlins". Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Dick Miller, Jackie Joseph, and Keye Luke reprise their roles from the first film. New cast members include John Glover, Robert Prosky, Haviland Morris, Robert Picardo, and Christopher Lee; additionally, the film features Tony Randall providing the voice for one of the gremlins. The story continues the adventures of the creature Gizmo( once again voiced by Howie Mandel), who spawns numerous small monsters when wet. It was directed by Joe Dante and written by Charles S. Haas, with creature designs by Rick Baker. In the first film, Gizmo's offspring rampaged through a small fictional town. In" Gremlins 2: The New Batch", Gizmo multiplies within a skyscraper in New York City. The new creatures thus pose a serious threat to the city should they be able to leave the building, and much of the story involves the human characters' efforts to prevent this disaster. Like the first film," Gremlins 2: The New Batch" is a live- action horror comedy film; however, Dante put effort into taking the sequel in new anarchistic directions. The film is meant to be more cartoon- like and less dark than the original, and the violence is fairly slapstick. There are also a number of parodies of other films and stories, most notably" Gremlins" itself, as well as the" Rambo" films," The Wizard of OzMarathon Man" and" The Phantom of the Opera". As with the first film, critical response varied. Some critics who thought the first film was too dark gave" Gremlins 2: The New Batch" better reviews, but it received a colder reception from fans who thought otherwise. <SEP> Two of her first short films," Daypass"( 2002) and" The Hill"( 2004) have both won awards at various international film festivals.
