	Joel Schumacher
		Schumacher started in filmmaking as an art director for television commercials, and eventually a friend of a friend who knew Dominique Dunne suggested Schumacher as costume designer for a low-budget film Dunne was producing, Play It As It Lays.
		Schumacher's masterpiece of costume design was Sleeper, the absurdist sci-fi comedy remembered as the high point of Woody Allen's "funny period".
		Schumacher directed a TV movie about the life of Bugsy Siegel's favorite moll, Virginia Hill, with Dyan Cannon in the lead, but it got bad ratings and worse reviews.

		Schumacher even played a part in Drew Barrymore's aggressive comeback campaign by casting her in his fleeting (but some say fabulous) primetime soap, "2000 Malibu Road" (1992) which he executive produced and directed the pilot and the three subsequent episodes.
		Schumacher selected the virtually unknown Matthew McConaughey to play the leading role of a crusading lawyer and surrounded the novice with veterans Samuel L Jackson (as the murder suspect), Sandra Bullock (as a law student), Donald Sutherland (as the lawyer's mentor) and Kevin Spacey (as the prosecuting attorney).
		Schumacher's career didn'tr suffer quite as badly as the Batman franchise, but the Hollywood heat was officially off, especially after making the grim, ultra-morbid snuff-film thriller "8MM" (1999) with Nicolas Cage.
