It's a studio executive medium. That's why recent films have been stinking so much. The studios want inexperienced directors with little to no spine so that they can control them and get the abhorrent final product that is quickly killing the film industry (if you don't believe me look at the studios quarterly reports and see how little money they're making in psite of retrenching and making fewer and fewer movies).

And it appears she's had a sex change.

Most of these directors will simply fizzle and remain anonymous, as most do. These young directors that get acclaim for their small or independent film early in their career rarely become known or name directors that follow it up with anything worthy.

I'm willing to bet five years from now, at least 8 of these 10 won't be doing anything all that special in the film world.

People can say what they want, but his Die Hard film kicked ass. Too bad the studio butchered the film by cutting it up to get a PG-13 rating.

Jeff Nichols should be on the list. And: Ti West > Adam Wingard
