Introduction to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Meet the Director and Screenwriter

I decided to stay with the official website for the film.  The “Cast & Crew” area of the website provides a detailed description of the director’s and screenwriter’s other projects.  I wish they had identified each person’s role by their names though.  I had to click through all the “Crew” names to find the writer.

On this website, I learned that Ben Stiller has a lot of experience in the film industry.  He has been an actor, director, writer, and a producer.  From what I could see, he earned the most recognition for the movie Tropic Thunder.  That film earned Academy and Golden Globe nominations.

The website identifies Steve Conrad as the writer of the screenplay.  Steve Conrad also wrote The Pursuit of Happyness.  This is one of the films you can choose for your film study.
