My favorite film director is Rob Cohen. He is a film director, producer, screenwriter, and an actor. Rob Cohen was born on March 12, 1949 in Cornwall, New York. He turned 61 this year. He became a film director by quickly distinguishing himself by recommending the script for The Sting (1973) to his boss, then Cohen moved on 20th Century Fox Television, where he earned the title Director of TV movies. Rob Cohen did not attend a film school but he went to Harvard University and graduated from there. He got his first start when he was age of 24, where he headed up the motion picture producing arm of Motown Records, overseeing some notable black oriented films like "Mahogany"(1975), The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings" (1976), etc. He directed and produced many popular and hit films like "The Fast and The Furious", "Miami Vice", "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story", "xXx", "The Guardian", "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor",etc. Rob Cohen works by producing and directing different movies. But he uses techniques like long shots, close-up shots, wide shots, slow motion, rack focus, and long tracking shots. Rob Cohen's style is mostly action, some love & romance, and comedy. His genre is overall action but action as in racing and gun-fighting. For an example- The Fast and The Furious is an action-racing film with fast-paced action.
