Hi everyone, I wanted to reach out and ask you for help in the research of one student of mine. I am mentoring her thesis on Xavier Dolan, and she is trying (so far in vain) to find someone who would be similar to him in those aspects: 1/ direct himself/herself in multiple films (e.g. being at the same time director and actor/actress); 2/ openly state that the characters played by him/her are sort of autobiographical; 3/ make first of his/her films fairly young (in his/her 20s, 30s). She was so far able to come up with few names who, however, do not correspond with XD in one or more above-mentioned aspects, as is Ben Affleck, Woody Allen, Orson Welles. Any suggestion would be very welcome! Best, Petra Dominkova, Ph.D. FAMU, Prague, Czech Republic ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message. Problems?
