Screen writer and director whose career is almost entirely overshadowed by former writing partner
Quentin Tarantino. Avary won an
Academy Award for his contributions to
Pulp Fiction (The Gold Watch chapter was based on an original script of his). In the final film, he's given a "story by" credit and, while this may seem minimal, it's more than he received for his contributions to
True Romance and
Natural Born Killers. Has directed the original film
Killing Zoe, and adapted
The Rules Of Attraction to the screen. Penned the film version of
Silent Hill and, along with
Neil Gaiman, wrote the script for
Beowulf.
