Dan Klores

In his documentaries, director Dan Klores (Crazy Love, Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story, Black Magic) takes an event, then lets the participants offer their points of view. It illuminates, not complicates. His newest film, Winning Time, showcases Reggie Miller and Spike Lee.

Eddie Izzard

You know Eddie Izzard (Ocean's Twelve, The Secret Agent, Trumbo, Lennie) as an actor in film. You may know his stand-up as well. This year he hosts the Independent Spirit Awards.

Jeff Bridges

Jeff Bridges (The Last Picture Show, Texasville, Tron, The Big Lebowski) is a lucky break for first-time writer-directors. Thirty-five years ago he got his first Oscar nomination in Michael Cimino's debut, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. This year, he scored his fifth nomination with Scott Cooper's Crazy Heart.

Geoffrey Fletcher

The novel that gave us the film Precious has been pursued by producers since it's publication. First-time screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher is the man who wrestled it to the big screen -- and got an Oscar nomination in the process...

Scott Schuman

In 2005, Scott Schuman began blogging. His site, proof-positive that pictures tell the story, is now a book...

Colin Firth

Oscar nominated-actor Colin Firth's film career is like a walk through the library. He's been in adaptations from A Christmas Carol, to Nostromo to Pride and Prejudice, with Bridget Jones thrown in. He currently stars in the adaptation of A Single Man.

Guy Ritchie

In Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, director Guy Ritchie (Revolver, RocknRolla) brought high-voltage filmmaking to modern London. He creates a venerable legend of an earlier time with Sherlock Holmes.

John Cooper

For John Cooper, new director of the Sundance Film Festival, it's all about moving into the future and maintaining tradition. Something old, something new... We hear about how films are selected, get a preview of this year's fest, learn about the new ‘Next' category and what it's like to work with Robert Redford...

Oren Moverman

"Intimate" and "confessional" are not adjectives you'd expect to hear in a film about the Iraq war. Director Oren Moverman's The Messenger looks at the collateral damage on the home front...

Tom Ford

Elvis speaks with fashion designer, writer-director-producer Tom Ford about his feature film debut, A Single Man, an adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's novel of the same name. The film has received rave reviews and recently garnered several Independent Spirit and Golden Globe nominations, two of those for lead actor Colin Firth.

Jason Reitman

What's easier, directing your own screen play or someone else's? After Juno, Jason Reitman (Thank You for Smoking) has returned to directing his own, the adaptation of Up in the Air. He discusses what's smoother sailing.

Viggo Mortensen

He's a poet, a musician, a painter and a photographer. But we know Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises, The Lord of The Rings) best as an actor. The adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's book, The Road, is a long way from Lord of the Rings. Mortensen, a man who's moved between two worlds.

Wes Anderson

Martin Scorsese once called Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) his logical heir. Is it the way Anderson creates tension in the room or did Scorsese one day imagine Anderson at work in stop-action animation? The director of Fantastic Mr. Fox joins Elvis Mitchell on The Treatment.
