Jonathan Nolan

Immediately following his college graduation, author, screenwriter, producer, and director Jonathan Nolan's name was up in lights. His unpublished short story was the basis for brother Christopher Nolan's groundbreaking indie film "Memento" (2000), which received a standing ovation when it premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. For most people, that would have been a hard act to follow. Nolan was clearly unlike most people.
