Read a full profile on Nolan here.

Nolan started off in England, filming the ridiculously low-budget Following in 1998 to great acclaim in the indie circuit. After moving to Hollywood to turn his brother Jonah’s short story “Memento Mori” into 2000’s psych thriller Memento, Nolan was afforded the opportunity to start directing blockbuster films. This began with sleeper hits in the form of novel adaptation Insomnia and The Prestige, but as his acclaim grew, so did his ambition. He established himself as the best blockbuster director of the 21st century with his gritty Batman reboot, The Dark Knight trilogy, then followed it up with two of the biggest movies of the 2010s in terms of both budget and scope – Inception and Interstellar.
