Gavin Hood
Another great South African painter of life on film who has become a Hollywood go-to director. First a lawyer and then a U.C.L.A. graduate from the film program, Hood won the Foreign Film Oscar for his 2005 film "Tsotsi," a gritty but tender depiction of slum life in Johannesburg. His follow-up was the American thriller "Rendition" (2007) with Reese Witherspoon, and most recently the adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel "Ender's Game" (2013).
