Alexander Payne

He was born February 10, 1961 in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. made his feature film debut with the critically acclaimed Citizen Ruth, which won first prize at the Munich Film Festival.

Alexander Payne is one of the most unique filmmakers working today. His respect for cinema and care for storytelling sets him apart from the studio system which owns Hollywood. In a time when most films cost tens of millions in A-list actors and special effects, Payne's film are simplified to the core of storytelling - the characters.

Each of his films mimic real life, with situations and people to which most everybody can relate. Perhaps one of the boldest elements of Payne's filmmaking style, is his risk to handle characters which are neither good nor bad. Instead, he examines normal lifestyles, along with dramatic and comedic elements which we can find in our own experiences.

He also directed Election (1999), About Schmidt (2002) and Sideways (2004).

He married Korean-Canadian actress Sandra Oh on January 1, 2003 but they divorced on December 21, 2006.
