My Take
Colin Trevorrow embodies one of my favorite kinds of filmmaking arcs: from the scrappy, charming Safety Not Guaranteed straight to the colossal Jurassic World. That leap from indie darling to blockbuster steward fascinates me because it demands two very different skill sets. Trained at NYU's Tisch and able to both write and direct, he clearly carries his worlds fully formed in his head. I respect directors who refuse to stay in one lane, swinging between intimate stories and tentpole spectacle. To me he is a reminder that a small, sharp idea can open the door to dinosaurs.
