The Work of David O. Russell

The Director of Three Kings, David O. Russell, is well known throughout Hollywood. His works have been accepted and applauded by many movie viewers.
One site, IMDb (Earth's Biggest Movie Database), gives some brief background information on David O. Russell and an overview of the films that he has worked with during his career.
Another site that I found to be informative on Russell was under Yahoo! Movies. This site gave an informative read of the biography of David O. Russell, his credentials in the film industry, photos, and his nominations and awards.
In the biography, there is a mention of an interesting fact on Russell's background that is unique to his past. According to Yahoo! Movies,
"Russell did not attend film school, nor did he set out to become a filmmaker; rather he was a political organizer and literacy teacher. But an urge to tell stories led him to make three short films..."
I think you will find David O. Russell's past and his work in film quite interesting.
