The penultimate director I decided to research was Eli Roth who is also a well-known actor (he often features or has little cameos in the films he directs or produces). He is known for directing 'Cabin Fever', 'Hostel' and its sequel 'Hostel: Pt II"; he also acted in Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglorious Bastards' and won awards for the role. Roth's familiarity with both being in front of and behind the camera makes him very creative and versatile. He also co-wrote the script for 'Cabin Fever' with his college roommate at the time, Randy Pearlstein.
When Roth started directing Hostel, he reportedly turned down studio directing jobs to do so - showing he's extremely dedicated to the films he's making and is also largely independent in his choices he makes about films he wants to direct - and also only took in a salary of $10,000 to keep the budget as low as possible.
