BIOGRAPHY OF DAMIEN CHAZELLE
Damien Sayre Chazelle was born on January 19, 1985 in the city of HP Lovecraft, Providence, Rhode Island. He is the son of Celia Martin, a French writer and history professor and computer scientist Bernard Chazelle, lecturer in Princetown. From an early age he was attracted to the artistic environment and in high school he focused on music, becoming a jazz drummer at Princeton high school, where he was tormented by a teacher from whom he would take inspiration for the character of Terence Fletcher in Whiplash. Abandoned his musical ambitions after realizing he did not have enough talent, he returned to his first passion, cinema, which he studied at Harvard University, where he graduated in 2007. In 2009 he writes and directs the musical Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, where also appears the younger sister, the actress and circus performer Anna Chazelle. The protagonist of the story, a constant in his filmography, is a jazz musician, in this case a trumpet player. He then starts writing screenplays for third parties, such as The Last Exorcism is Blackmail and at some point he realizes that writing for others is not what he wants to do and writes down the script for Whiplash, inspired by his high school experiences, which he then puts in a drawer because he considers it too personal. When he finds the courage to propose it, he does not receive positive feedback from the producers, but the script (of only 85 pages) ends up in the 2012 Blacklist of the best unrealized. Eventually it manages to engage JK Simmons in the role of the teacher and to be financed a short film that participates in Sundance 2013, where he wins the prize for the category. From the short he then made the feature film that the following year, again at Sundance, won the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize, also collecting awards in Deauville. In 2014 the film gets 5 Oscar nominations and wins three, none of which go to Chazelle (nominated for best non-original screenplay). He is then co-writer of the sci-fi thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane and returns to the themes of his first film with La La Land, with Ryan Gosling is Emma Stone, which is in competition in Venice where at the Stone the Pair of Volpi goes, wins the Audience Award in Toronto, 7 Golden Globes out of 7 nominations and reaches a record of 14 2017 Oscar nominations. His next film will be an astronaut biopic Neil Armstrong, still performed by Gosling.
