He has directed two films: the delightfully intimate sci-fi Robot & Frank , and the adaptation of John Green’s novel Paper Towns . He has also worked in various TV series, such as I’m Dying Up Here, Lodge 49, The new cherry flavor and Kidding. His pitching for the Thunderbolts movie is said to have impressed Marvel execs tremendously in recent weeks, landing him the project.
