| Neill Blomkamp |
Blomkamp (1979) is a
South-African, Canadian-based film director who is best known for his 2009 feature-film
District 9, which was produced by
Peter Jackson, and based on his 2006 shot Alive in
Johburg. Blomkamp studied at the Vancouver Film School and later worked as
a visual effects artist.
Blomkamp is well-known
for the documentary-style he evokes, hand-held, with use of lots of computer
generated effects. Landfall is an
example of this; a trilogy of shorts set in the Halo universe (which is has
since become a video) and was directed by Blomkamp in 2007. One of them later
went on to win the Cannes Lions 2008 in the Film Lions category. Some of his other
short films have also included, Yellow,
Tetra Vaal and commercials for Nike
and Citroën (find example).
It was recently announced
that Blomkamp would work on his own solo project a new science fiction film
called Elysium.
