His first feature, the horror-comedy ''Home Sick'', starring Bill Moseley and Tiffany Shepis, proved to be a stepping stone to his second feature, the psychotropic ghost story thriller ''Pop Skull''. Made on a total budget of $2,000, ''Pop Skull'' had its international premiere at the Rome Film Festival and its domestic premiere at the AFI Film Festival in 2007. ''A Horrible Way to Die'' (2010) and ''What Fun We Were Having'' (2011) followed. The serial killer love story thriller ''A Horrible Way to Die'' premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival in the ‘Vanguard’ section and was acquired by Starz/Anchor Bay at the festival for a North American theatrical and home media release. ''What Fun We Were Having'' is a 4-part anthology dealing with the taboo subject of date rape. The anthology had its premiere at the 2011 Fantastia Film Festival in Montreal where Wingard was honored by the festival with his very own sidebar section: “Medicated Monsters – A Spotlight on Filmmaker Adam Wingard”. In 2011, Wingard co-directed ''Autoerotic'' with mumblecore icon (and frequent actor in Wingard films) Joe Swanberg. He was selected to direct one chapter of ''The ABCs of Death'', a 26-chapter horror anthology for Drafthouse Films and Magnet. A recent solo directorial effort, ''You're Next'', a home invasion thriller, premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the ‘Midnight Madness’ section.〔('Guest' Director Adam Wingard Goes Back to Horror with 'The Woods' )〕 The film was acquired by Lionsgate, and received a wide release in August 2013. His most recent film, ''The Guest'' starring Dan Stevens, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and Fantastic Fest and has received critical acclaim upon its wider theatrical release in mid-September.〔(Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett Take a Trip into The Woods )〕 In February 2015 Lionsgate confirmed Wingard will direct the thriller film ''The Woods'', based on a script by Simon Barrett.〔(Adam Wingard Heads Into ‘The Woods’ )〕 More recently, Adam Wingard has signed on to direct an upcoming live-action American film adaptation of Takeshi Obata's popular manga series ''Death Note''.〔http://www.slashfilm.com/adam-wingard-death-note/〕 All of Adam Wingard's films are given a contemporary backdrop, briefly alluding to current events and attitudes prevalent in the social zeitgeist of the 2010s, as well as trends in pop culture. For example, ''The Guest'' references the ongoing war in Afghanistan, while ''You're Next'' alludes through one of its characters to the 2010s hipster subculture as well as through another character to popular skepticism of the defense industry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adam Wingard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
