Diablo Cody
After completion of her book, Cody was encouraged by Mason Novick to write her first screenplay. Within months she wrote "Juno", a coming-of-age story about a teenager's unplanned pregnancy. The Jason Reitman-directed comedy stars Ellen Page and Michael Cera.
Luigi Cozzi
Cozzi's first film "The Tunnel Under the World" was described by Cozzi as "shot very quickly on a ridiculously low budget." The film features a martian and a vampire. He befriended director Dario Argento and began working in his screenplay for "Four Flies on Grey Velvet", as well as working as an assistant on the film.
