Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, best known for his gripping, stylish, and provocative documentaries, is one of the foremost non-fiction filmmakers working today. He received a Best Feature-Length Documentary Oscar in 2008 for Taxi to the Dark Side, as well as a Writer’s Guild award for Best Screenplay and a Best Director nomination from the DGA. He also received an Academy Award nomination in 2006 for Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, and served as an Executive Producer for the 2008 Academy Award nominated No End In Sight. His film, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, was an official selection at the 2008 Sundance, San Francisco, and Los Angeles Film Festivals. His latest Sundance feature was Casino Jack and the United States of Money, an expose of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff opened in theaters nationwide earlier this year.

Alex was also a featured director in the Fall 2008 Director's Issue of Shoot Magazine, and scored a hat trick at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, which featured three of his latest projects, feature film My Trip to Al Qaeda, "Sumo," a section of the blockbuster ensemble documentary Freakonomics, and ‘the hottest ticket of the festival,' Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer.

With his next projects well underway, Alex Gibney continues to bring his signature explorations of power, politics, and culture in America to the attention of audiences worldwide.
