Robert Zemeckis Resources
Robert Zemeckis (born May 14, 1952) is an American movie director, producer and writer. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Zemeckis graduated from the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television. Propelled forward after winning a student Academy Award for his film,
A Field of Honor, he went on to write and direct many films which have won numerous awards.
He often works with composer Alan Silvestri and writer Bob Gale.
He is known for his innovative use of special effects, especially in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which combined live action seamlessly with traditional animation, and Forrest Gump, in which he placed
Tom Hanks in scenes with historical figures such as John F. Kennedy. His most recent project, 2004's The Polar Express, based on the children's book by Chris Van Allsburg, utilized a revolutionary computer animation technique known as performance capture, whereby the movements of the actors are captured digitally and used as the basis for the animated characters.
Since becoming a well-known Hollywood director, he has been nominated for and won several awards, including an Academy Award for directing
Forrest Gump in 1994.
