Personal Quote:

Trivia:

Attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and graduated with degrees in Theater and Film. See more »

Trademark:

All his films usually consist of a cruel and vicious battle of the sexes with the men portraying unlikeable and trashy misogynists, and the women either crafty vixens or vulnerable victims. See more »
