Damien Chazelle's biography

EXERCISE: Pick out the very important information of Damien Chazelle's life
in your copybook.

Damien Chazelle, in full Damien Sayre Chazelle, (born January 19,
1985, Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.), American director and screenwriter
who won numerous awards for his first two major films, Whiplash (2014)
and La La Land (2016).
Chazelle was the son of university professors, and as a child he had an
interest in both filmmaking and music. He attended Princeton High School
in Princeton, New Jersey, and played drums in the school's highly
competitive jazz band. Chazelle then studied filmmaking in Harvard
University's Department of Visual and Environmental Studies (A.B., 2007). His
debut as a filmmaker was Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench (2009), a
black-and-white expansion of a student film about a failed romance between
a trumpet player and a graduate student that was filmed in New York
City and Boston; it featured music written by Chazelle's friend Justin Hurwitz
(who also wrote the scores for Whiplash and La La Land) and won favourable
notice at the Tribeca Film Festival.
After moving to Los Angeles, Chazelle began working as a screenwriter. He
produced scripts for the horror movie The Last Exorcism Part II (2013) and
the thriller Grand Piano (2013) but was unable to generate interest in a script
that he had written on his own. Abandoning that effort, he began writing a
screenplay based on his experience with a taskmaster music instructor when
he was in high school. With veteran actor J.K. Simmons as the instructor and
Johnny Simmons as the drummer, Chazelle created an 18-minute short film of
a scene from his Whiplash screenplay and submitted to the 2013 Sundance
Film Festival, where it won both the short-film jury prize and enough financing
to create the feature-length version. That film, also featuring Simmons but
with Miles Teller as the drummer, was nominated for the Academy Award for
best picture and won three Oscars (for best supporting actor (Simmons), film
editing, and sound mixing). In addition, Chazelle received an Oscar
nomination for his screenplay.
