About Schmidt (2002)
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Election (1999)
Director and screenwriter Alexander Payne made his big-screen debut directing one of nine vignettes about love and relationships in the 1992 film Inside Out. Four years later, he gained praise and recognition for "Citizen Ruth," a bitingly satirical look at the abortion debate which starred Laura Dern as its amoral anti-heroine. In 1999, Payne co-wrote (with Jim Taylor) and directed his most successful fim "Election." A wickedly funny look at American politics through the lens of a high school student council election.
