The Profile

American film director and screenwriter best known for Donnie Darko (2001). He later wrote and directed Southland Tales (2006) and The Box (2009), and wrote the screenplay for Domino (2005).

Born March 28, 1975, in Newport News, Virginia. Donnie Darko became a cult classic; subsequent features include Southland Tales and The Box.

Most reviews praise Donnie Darko for its mood, performances, and cult-worthy mix of sci‑fi and teen angst; one critic calls it shallow and commercial. The Box earns strong marks for its escalating moral quandary and eerie sci‑fi tone. Themes of time, memory, and suburban rot recur. Soundtrack love is real. Expect debate.
