Mitchell Lichtenstein

The son of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, he built his own career as an actor, notably in Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet, before turning to writing and directing. His film Teeth (2007), a black comedy built around the vagina dentata myth, premiered at Sundance to strong reviews, and he went on to write, direct, and produce Happy Tears and Angelica, both selected for the Berlin Film Festival.
