 Terry Zwigoff @ Filmbug
Terry Zwigoff most recently directed and co-wrote the acclaimed indie hit Ghost World, which received two Golden Globe nominations, two AFI nominations and appeared on over 140 Top Ten lists in major newspapers and magazines.
Zwigoff began his film career accidentally in 1978, when he found a rare 1934 recording by an unknown Chicago blues musician.
A musician himself, Zwigoff was so impressed by this old 78 that he began what was to become two years of detective work to discover who the artist was and what his life had been like.

Zwigoff's next project, however, became the toast of the festival circuit in 1994.
Even with the enormous success of "Crumb";, Zwigoff refused to sell out to Hollywood (his aversion to corporate commercialism is a welknown trademark)and turned down lucrative projects like The Virgin Suicides (1999) (it was subsequently made into a film by Sofia Coppola in 2000).
"Zwigoff was plagued by agonizing back pain all during the period when he was making Crumb (1994) and slept with a gun under his pillow, he told me, in case he had to end his misery in the middle of the night.

 Combustible Celluloid interview - Terry Zwigoff, Ghost World (2001)
Zwigoff admits he was nervous going into his third film and directing actors for the first time.
Zwigoff used a series of great old blues tunes for the film's soundtrack, though the studio originally wanted a marketable soundtrack album full of N'Sync and Britney Spears tunes.
Zwigoff did find a use for one Spears song, in a 50s diner where Enid and Rebecca ironically comment on the lack of 1950s music playing there.

 MovieMaker Magazine | HOP Issue #6 | Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Yet Zwigoff -- about as anti-Hollywood a figure as one could envision -- waited seven years to follow up that success with another feature (a timeframe elongated by the director‚s involvement in an aborted Woody Allen documentary).
Zwigoff has created not only an evocative character study, but also a pointed satire of the corporate homogenization of modern American society.
The increasing blandness of pop culture (his barbs are at their most pointed during the sequence wherein Enid gets a one-day job at a hellish multiplex) is the background for a film that is at times uproariously funny.
