Wired shows deep love for Spy Films’ directors.

“After being blown away by Nuit Blanche, a visually impressive short by director Arev Manoukian, Wired.com checked out some of the other work coming from Spy talent. Spy Films is a Canadian production house known for delivering eye-popping imagery.”

“We represent directors who have a strong eye for storytelling and a wizard-like approach to their work.”

Comic-Con 2009 – Friday, July 24th, 2009 by David Chen

During my lifetime, there have been a handful of feature-length directorial debuts that have truly impressed me. Obviously, Rian Johnson’s Brick was one of them, and this year Marc Webb’s 500 Days of Summer wowed me with its heartfelt script and well-executed conceit. Later this summer, we’ll have the opportunity to see Neill Blomkamp’s first film District 9, perhaps one of the most original and ambitious science fiction films to be released in recent memory. I haven’t seen the film yet, but from what I’ve been hearing from all the journalists who have seen it, it’s impressive.

I sat down with Blomkamp yesterday at San Diego Comic Con 2009 to chat about some of his inspirations for the film, the process of getting it made, and what he might be working on next.
