Question: Are the directors of both films City Of Ghosts (2017 Film) and American Exit from the same country?

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> 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.

Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> American Exit is a 2019 American adventure drama thriller film written and directed by Tim McCann and Ingo Vollkammer and starring Dane Cook and Levi Miller. <SEP> The Sundance Film Festival called Heineman" one of the most talented and exciting documentary filmmakers working today", while Anne Thompson of" Indiewire" wrote that Heineman is a" respected and gifted filmmaker who combines gonzo fearlessness with empathetic sensitivity."
