Inspiring Directors

David Schwimmer, for his work on Run, Fatboy, Run, 2007

The reason I chose David Schwimmer as a director with relevance to my film was his light-hearted comedic tone, but still as I want my film's comedy base to be of the expense of the main, male character.but ultimatley sees him through a life journey.

The film overall seems to run at a fast pace, whether its to reflect on the theme of running it also means the comedy is fast paced - much like what I want my film to be like. Hopefully using Schwimmers technique can achieve a lot of comedy in my trailer - appealing to a varied audience but the majority of male.

Steve Gordon, for his work on Arthur, 1981 

Like Schwimmer, the main character is a male of emersed with the comnedy and yet follows him on a journey to self-discovery and gaining a better life-style. Which is want I want to entwine into my film.

Todd Phillps for his work on The Hangover, 2009

Like Schimmer again it seems this film is edited to make it seem
very fast paced, again allowing a lot more quick-witted comedy,

usually at the expense of a main characer, something that will

feature a lot in my film.













Ricky Gervais

Gervais' bitter, British, black comedy style is what I would like in my trailer, as a British film I want to weave in as much British comedy as a I can, yet still keeping it heart-warming by using Schwimmers light-hearted tone in Run, Fatboy, Run
