About Zemeckis
Robert Lee Zemeckis - (born May 14, 1951)First came to public attention after Directing “Back to the Future Part 1” in 1985
"the truth was that in my family there was no art. I mean, there was no music, there were no books, there was no theater....The only thing I had that was inspirational, was television—and it actually was."
Auteur Theory“Auteur Theory suggests that a director can use the commercial apparatus of film-making in the same way that a writer uses a pen or a painter uses paint and a paintbrush. It is a medium for the personal
artistic expression of the director. The film theorotician, André Bazin, explained that: auteur
theory was a way of choosing the personal factor in artistic creation as a standard of referencce, and
then assuming that it continues and even progresses from one film to the next.”
"Marty [McFly] is [also] in a land where he's isolated. He's in another time zone," the director explains.
