THE FILMMAKERS
PETER JACKSON (DIRECTOR/ WRITER/ PRODUCER)
Long-time J.R.R. Tolkien fan Peter Jackson makes history with The
Lord of the Rings, becoming the first person to direct three major
feature films simultaneously. Released in 2001, the first film in
the trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,
was nominated for 13 Academy Awards, including Best Director, and
won four. The film also received the American Film Institute's prestigious
Film Award and was nominated for 12 awards from the British Academy
of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), winning awards for Best Film
and garnering Jackson the David Lean Award for direction. In addition
to four Golden Globe nominations, the film also received numerous
distinctions and awards around the world.
Jackson previously received widespread acclaim for his 1994 feature
Heavenly Creatures, which was awarded a Silver Lion at the Venice
Film Festival and an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay.
Written by Jackson and his collaborator, Fran Walsh, the film is
based on an infamous New Zealand murder of the 1950s, and the story
of two intelligent and imaginative young girls whose obsessive friendship
leads them to murder one of their mothers.
Other film credits include The Frighteners starring Michael J. Fox,
the adult puppet feature Meet the Feebles and Braindead, which Jackson
co-wrote. Braindead played at festivals around the world winning
16 international science fiction awards including the prestigious
Saturn. Jackson also co-directed the television documentary "Forgotten
Silver" which also hit the film festival circuit.
Born in New Zealand on Halloween in 1961, Jackson began at an early
age making movies with his parents' Super 8 camera. At seventeen
he left school, and failing to get a job in the New Zealand film
industry as he had hoped, started work as a photo-engraving apprentice.
After purchasing a 16mm camera, Jackson began shooting a science
fiction comedy short, which, three years later, had grown to a seventy-five
minute feature called Bad Taste, funded entirely from his own wages.
The New Zealand Film Commission eventually gave Jackson money to
complete the film, which has become a cult classic.
