Happy Birthday: Bennett Miller

Bennett Miller

Born: December 30, 1966 in New York City, New York, USA

[on why his narrative features have all been fact-based] I imagine I’ll do non-fact-based films as well, but I’m attracted to stories that are allegorical, but also have a finite, material reality that can be examined. This is one of these stories that I think guards all sorts of truths. If you really stick with it and examine it, it begins to reveal things I can’t imagine anybody fabricating. There’s something very satisfying about creating cinema within the limitation of true events.
