Richard Stuart Linklater (born July 30, 1960) is an American filmmaker based out of Austin, Texas. He is, along with Creator/StevenSoderbergh and Creator/KevinSmith, considered one of the most important figures in the American independent film industry. His career began with ''Film/{{Slacker}}'', a very low-budget ensemble film about twenty-something misfits in Austin. The film was met with critical acclaim, and Creator/KevinSmith says it was what inspired him to make ''Film/{{Clerks}}''. His second film, ''Film/DazedAndConfused'' is a cult classic and equally acclaimed. From there, his career is, to say the least, eclectic. He's done two experimental animated films (''WesternAnimation/WakingLife'' and ''Literature/AScannerDarkly''), studio comedies (''Film/SchoolOfRock'', ''[[Film/TheBadNewsBears Bad News Bears]]''), smaller Indie movies (''Fast Food Nation'', ''Film/BeforeSunrise'' and ''Film/BeforeSunset''), and an ambitious project called ''Film/{{Boyhood}}'', which was filmed over a period of over 10 years, detailing one young man's childhood from elementary school to high school graduation, with each grade's story being written and shot over a few weeks each year until the project was completed. However, present in all his films is an underlying humanist streak done in a simple, yet effective style.

* AcclaimedFlop: With the exception of ''School of Rock'' and ''Boyhood'', nearly all his films’ financial successes range from mediocre to outright bombs. Despite this, they’re almost always praised by critics and audiences.

* CareerResurrection: After ''Fast Food Nation'' both bombed and got flak for changing the message of the book, and ''Me and Orson Welles'' was barely released, ''Bernie'' received critical acclaim and ''Before Midnight'' was named the A.V. Club’s best film of 2013 and got nominated for an Oscar. Now ''Boyhood'' is being almost universally praised, with some even calling it a modern classic.
* CreatorProvincialism: He’s from Texas, and a good chunk of his movies are either set or shot there.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Rick's films can differentiate from the idealistic Film/SchoolOfRock to the more cynical {{Film/Bernie}}. However many films have a sentimental sense of realism and many can end on a realistic HopeSpot.
