Gus Van Sant
Gus Van Sant is an influential American filmmaker, screenwriter, and photographer, known for his distinctive storytelling and visual style. Born on July 24, 1952, in Louisville, Kentucky, he rose to prominence in the 1990s with films like 'Good Will Hunting' and 'My Own Private Idaho,' which explore themes of identity and marginalized lives. Van Sant's work often blurs the lines between mainstream and art cinema.
