Darren Aronofsky
Aronofsky's directorial debut was in the late 1990s with "Pi" (1998), a black-and-white American psychological thriller, for which he won the Directing Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Gotham Open Palm Award. Aronofsky's next film was the drama "Requiem for a Dream" (2000), which is based on the novel of the same name written by Hubert Selby, Jr., with whom Aronofsky wrote the screenplay. In the mid-2000s, he directed "The Fountain" (2006), which comprises three storyline in settings separated by 500 years: a present-day scientist and his cancer-stricken wife; a conquistador and his queen; and a space traveler who meditates on his past love. His next film, "The Wrestler" (2008) was a drama about a past-his-prime, impoverished professional wrestler. In 2010 he released "Black Swan", a psychological thriller starring Natalie Portman set in the world of ballet.
