Todd Field

Todd Field (1964, USA) is an American filmmaker and actor known for films that merge psychological depth with formal clarity. His directorial oeuvre, which includes In the Bedroom (2001), Little Children (2006), and Tár (2022) earned him a combined fourteen Academy Award nominations, amongst which two for Best Picture, two for Best Adapted Screenplay, one for Best Director, and one for Best Original Screenplay.

Born in California and growing up in Oregon, Field skipped college in favour of his passion for acting. Moving to New York to pursue his dream, he began performing with the Ark Theatre Company as both an actor and musician. Although his acting career looked promising, landing roles with legendary directors such as Woody Allen or Stanley Kubrick, Field is currently dedicated to directing and screenwriting.
