Antonio Campos (b. 1983, New York), screenwriter, producer, and director, was nominated in 2009 for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Film for his feature debut Afterschool; the film had its European premiere at Cannes, screening in Un Certain Regard. Cannes also presented his short films Buy It Now (2005, in competition) and The Last 15 (2006, Cinéfondation, main prize), and Variety magazine selected Campos as one of its “10 Directors to Watch.” As a producer he cooperated on Sean Durkin’s movies Mary Last Seen (2009) and Martha Marcy May Marlene (2010) and coproduced Two Gates of Sleep (2010) by fellow filmmaker Alistair Banks Griffin. At last year’s Sundance festival, Campos’ second feature Simon Killer was screened as a world premiere.
