Few directors in today's moviemaking world have the clout of iconoclastic Gus Van Sant. At the start, the struggling Van Sant used his life's savings to make his debut feature, »Mala Noche« (1985). This highly regarded picture was the springboard to making »Drugstore Cowboy« (1989) and »My Own Private Idaho« (1991). Although he long refused to be part of the Hollywood studio system Van Sant has nevertheless created such crowd-pleasing features as »Good Will Hunting« (1997), for which he was Oscar-nominated, and »Finding Forrester« (2000). »Gus Van Sant« is the study of a modern-day Renaissance man who has enjoyed successful gallery exhibitions of his paintings, who composes songs, performs, and records. He turns out sophisticated still photography, has written a satirical and controversial novel »Pink«, and has directed music videos featuring Elton John, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Hanson. This unauthorized biography follows the director from adolescent self-discovery in Portland, Oregon, to post-graduate pilgrimage to Italy, and the newcomer's odyssey to Hollywood, detailing the formative influences on the future filmmaker, ranging from his establishment-bred father to William Burroughs Jr., who became mentor, friend, and on-camera performer for the fledgling director.
