February 12 - Darren Aronofsky


Happy 51st Birthday, Darren Aronofsky! Born today in 1969, this American screenwriter and film director is noted for his surreal, melodramatic, and often disturbing films. 

Aronofsky attended Harvard University, where he studied film and social anthropology, and the American Film Institute where he studied directing. 
  
Aronofsky is best known for directing the 1998 American black and white psychological drama/thriller film 'Pi', the 2000 American drama/psychological thriller film 'Requiem for a Dream', the 2008 American sports/drama film 'The Wrestler', the 2010 American psychological horror drama/mystery film 'Black Swan' and the 2017 American allegorical psychological horror drama/mystery film 'Mother!' (stylized as 'mother!') 
  
Aronofsky is also known for his use of the SnorriCam in his films. Also known as a chestcambodymount camerabodycam or bodymount, this camera device is rigged to the body of the actorfacing the actor directly. 

When they walk, they do not appear to move, but everything around them does. A SnorriCam presents a dynamic point of view from the actor's perspective, providing an unusual sense of vertigo for the viewer. 
  
Aronofsky has been active from 1991–present
