10 Filmmakers to Follow on Twitter

From PasteMagazine.com: 10 Filmmakers to Follow on Twitter (see the complete article here)...and their movies that you can check out from Media Services.

10. Robert Rodriguez - RobertRdz
The Sin City director just joined the world of Twitter (unless this is a fake) a couple of weeks ago when he gave the commencement speech to his fellow University of Texas graduates.

The adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D - HU DVD 5499
Desperado - HU DVD 5569
Planet Terror - HU DVD 5201

9. Paul Feig - paulfeig
Feig directed I Am David and nearly all of my favorite TV shows (Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Mad Men, Weeds, The Office, Freaks and Geeks).

Freaks and Geeks - HU DVD 3441 - 3446

8. David Lynch - DAVID_LYNCH
If you ever want to know the weather in L.A., Dave's your guy.

Inland Empire - HU DVD 3109
Lost Highway - HU DVD 4056
Straight Story - HU DVD 263
Twin Peaks - HU DVD 2961 - 2970

7. Jon Favreau - Jon_Favreau
Since his days as Monica's boyfriend on Friends, Favreau has gone onto better things—like directing Iron Man 2 and Tweeting about it.

Iron Man - HU DVD 2763

6. Lee Unkrich - leeunkrich
The Pixar director (Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo) talks us through the creation of Toy Story 3 and tells us about sneaking in a Toy Story logo onto one of the balloons in Up.

Finding Nemo - HU DVD 836

5. Greg Mottola - GregMottola
The director of Superbad and Adventureland is shooting a new film called Paul with Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Nick Frost and (according to his Twitter feed) Sigourney Weaver. Holy crap. He's also diggin' him some Iron & Wine.

If you think we should buy his films, feel free to submit a request here.

4. Errol Morris - errolmorris
The director of Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line packs a lot of substance into 140 characters like mini-ruminations on truth vs. narrative consistency.

Gates of Heaven
- HU DVD 5781
Fog of War - HU DVD 791
Standard Operating Procedure - DVD 4870
Thin Blue Line - DVD 2219

3. Rian Johnson - rcjohnso
The director of Brick and The Brothers Bloom answers all the Tweets directed at him. The down-side is that gives his feed a pretty low signal-to-noise ratio. But it's also pretty cool that he responds to just about any question.

Brick - HU DVD 2253

2. David Wain - davidwain
The prolific writer/actor/director/blogger is also a prolific Twitterer.

Wet Hot American Summer - HU DVD 1506

1. Kevin Smith - ThatKevinSmith
He's in the middle of shooting a movie called "A Couple of Dicks" with Bruce Willis and
Tracy Morgan, so the number of penis puns is um... huge.

Clerks - HU DVD 1423
Clerks II - HU DVD 5335
Mallrats - HU DVD 5278
Zack and Miri Make a Porno - HU DVD 5313
