Book Damien Chazelle
Damien Chazelle is a French-American filmmaker behind some of the most celebrated films of the past decade, and in 2017 he became the youngest person ever to win the Academy Award for Best Director, at age 32. He made his debut feature, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, as a Harvard thesis project with composer Justin Hurwitz, premiering it at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2009. After moving to Los Angeles he worked as a screenwriter on projects including The Last Exorcism Part II and Grand Piano and rewrote an early draft of 10 Cloverfield Lane. His jazz drumming drama Whiplash (2014) won the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and earned him an Oscar nomination for adapted screenplay. The musical romance La La Land (2016) followed, collecting 14 Academy Award nominations and six wins, along with the BAFTA Award for Best Direction for Chazelle. He went on to direct the biographical drama First Man (2018) and the sweeping Hollywood epic Babylon (2022). Chazelle is an inspiring speaker on creativity, music, persistence and bringing a personal vision to the screen.
