Nicholas Meyer

What strikes me about Nicholas Meyer is how he moves between forms without losing his voice. He broke through with the novel The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, then directed Time After Time and two Star Trek films, and that range alone makes him hard to pin down. But for me his quietest work hits hardest: The Day After, the 1983 television film about nuclear war, felt less like entertainment than a warning aimed straight at its audience. A University of Iowa graduate and Saturn Award honoree, he reads to me as a storyteller first and a director second, someone who treats genre as a vehicle for ideas rather than the point itself.
