Harmony Korine

Harmony Korine is an American filmmaker, screenwriter and visual artist, born in Bolinas, California, in 1973 and raised in Nashville. He wrote the screenplay for Larry Clark's Kids (1995) before directing Gummo (1997) and Julien Donkey-Boy (1999).

His later films include Trash Humpers, Spring Breakers and The Beach Bum. Alongside cinema, Korine works in painting, drawing, photography and assemblage, often reusing materials and images across different forms. His visual-art practice includes both abstract compositions and figures drawn from the unstable, marginal worlds that recur in his films.
