Christopher Nolan
- Born: 30 Jul, 1971
Like many future filmmakers, British-born Christopher Nolan began making amateur movies at an early age, playing around with a Super 8mm camera that belonged to his father. When his family relocated to Chicago for three years during his formative years, this child of a British father and American mother traded tips on movie making with pals Roko and Adrian Belic (who in 1998 premiered their documentary "Genghis Blues"). While an undergraduate at University College in London, Nolan saw his short "Tarantella" air in the USA on PBS in 1989. By the mid-90s, he had hooked up with Jeremy Theobold who appeared in the shorts "Larceny" and "Doodlebug". Theobold would go on to produce and star in Nolan's feature directorial debut, "Following" (1998)....
