Vincenzo Natali
Vincenzo Natali is a Canadian director, screenwriter, and producer. Passionate about comic books, he made his first short film, Dark Empire, shot on Super 8, at the age of eleven in 1980 with his childhood friend André Bijelic. Together, they wrote the screenplay for his first film, Cube (1997), which achieved great success and won the award for Best Canadian First Feature Film at TIFF. He continued with Cypher (2002), before directing a surprising film that blends comedy and fantasy, Nothing (2003). He later returned to science fiction with Splice (2009), featuring an international cast including Adrian Brody, Sarah Polley, and Delphine Chanéac. Following the non-completion of several projects, he turned to television, directing episodes for series such as Hannibal, Orphan Black, Luke Cage, Westworld, and Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. In 2019, he adapted a novella by Stephen King and his son, In the Tall Grass, for Netflix.
