My Take
Burr Steers intrigues me for both his bloodline and his sensibility. A nephew of writer Gore Vidal and a New York University graduate, he moved fluidly from acting to screenwriting to directing. His Igby Goes Down is a sharp, ironic coming-of-age film that signals a real talent, while 17 Again proves he can handle crowd-pleasers too. I sense the literary DNA of his family seeping into his visual storytelling, giving his work an unusual wit. I'm drawn to filmmakers who balance arthouse edge with mainstream craft, and Steers seems to embody that rare equilibrium beautifully.
