Vincenzo Natali
Director
Vincenzo Natali spent five years honing his skills as a storyboard artist at Toronto’s Nelvana Animation Studios. In 1992, he filmed the short Mouth, followed by Playground, in 1993. Both shorts were broadcast on the CBC in Canada and played in film festivals around the world. Natali was soon after accepted into the prestigious Director's Lab at the Canadian Film Centre. There he completed the award-winning short, Elevated (1996), and through the Feature Film Project he directed his first feature-length film, Cube (1997). To date, Cube has played in more than 20 international festivals and has garnered over 12 awards and six Genie nominations. Following the success of Cube, Natali helmed the Miramax conspiracy thriller Cypher, starring Jeremy Northam and Lucy Liu. Nothing is his third feature film.
