Jonathan Demme
Beginning his career under B-movie producer Roger Corman, Demme made his directorial debut with the 1974 women-in-prison film ''Caged Heat'', before becoming known for his casually humanist films such as ''Melvin and Howard'' (1980), ''Swing Shift'' (1984), ''Something Wild'' (1986), and ''Married to the Mob'' (1988). His 1991 psychological horror film ''The Silence of the Lambs'', based on the novel of the same title, won five Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture.
His subsequent films earned similar acclaim, notably the HIV/AIDS-themed drama ''Philadelphia'' (1993), the supernatural Gothic horror ''Beloved'' (1998), the conspiracy thriller ''The Manchurian Candidate'' (2004), and the independent drama ''Rachel Getting Married'' (2008). Demme also directed numerous concert films such as ''Stop Making Sense'' (1984), ''Neil Young: Heart of Gold'' (2006), and ''Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids'' (2016), and worked on several television series as both a producer and director.
