PRINCE AVALANCHE

David Gordon Green

David Gordon Green (Little Rock, AR, USA, 1975) grew up in Texas and studied directing at the North Carolina School of Art. After a long series of shorts, he debuted in feature films in 2001 with George Washington, which won that year’s Torino Film Festival. In 2003, he made All the Real Girls, which received a Special Jury Prize at Sundance. He continued making indie films, which are deeply rooted in American culture and at the same time have a magical melancholy realism: Undertow (2004), produced by Terence Malick and which competed at the Torino Film Festival; and Snow Angels (2007). His films Pineapple Express (2008), Your Highness (2011), and The Sitter (2011) veered toward a more commercial type of cinema, but he recaptured the expressive atmosphere and freedom of his early works with Prince Avalanche and his next movie, Joe (2013), which competed at the Venice Film Festival.
