The Writing King Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

Director: Ron Howard

Ron Howard was a television child actor on The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days before directing, which is an unusual route and gave him a working knowledge of sets from the age of six. He has directed more than twenty-five features across three decades.

The films are professionally made and deliberately unshowy. Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and Rush are all built on procedure and performance instead of a visual identity, and Apollo 13 in particular is a masterclass in generating suspense from an outcome the audience already knows.

He won Best Director and Best Picture for A Beautiful Mind. The criticism is that the style is anonymous, and the defense is that anonymity is what lets the material come first.

Apollo 13 (1995) Review

The film rewards repeat viewing because the substance is procedural instead of dramatic in the conventional sense. The film is adapted from Lost Moon, the 1994 memoir by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger.
