Tim Burton
Tim Burton was born on August 25th, 1958. Growing up, he had a taste for the morbid that his peers found disturbing. However, this would later contribute to his signature style of film making. Tim Burton enjoys creating darker, more gothic inspired films than most contemporary filmmakers today. His most well known films include Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Alice In Wonderland and many others. Another interesting note is his favor for using stop motion, which he employs in many of his films.
Tim Burton's filmmaking history began with his employment by disney. There, he began designing and creating ideas for the company. After creating a short film, Frankenweenie (which would later be remade into a full feature film), he would go on to direct PeeWee's Big Adventure. A critical failure, but a box office success. This film, which would go down as a cult classic helped catapult him to fame as he would continue to make a string of highly regarded films such as Batman.
The director is also well known for working with Johnny Depp, as he has starred in various Tim Burton movies such as Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Alice in wonderland, and Sweenie Tod, The Demon Barbor of Fleet Street.
