I was brought on to design the poster and Criterion Collection release of critically acclaimed Greek director Baron Von Spanakopita's film IN THE REALM OF WITHIN.
Baron Von Spanakopita won several awards for his films and helped many directors mold their movies into classics.
Baron Von Spanakopita helped Akira Kurosawa write the scripts for Seven Samurai, Rashamon, and RAN. If you look real hard you can see him as an extra in a few scenes.
David FIncher brought on Baron Von Spanakopita for Fight Club to give the film a raw rugged look. Fincher vowed to dedicate every movie since to Baron Von Spanakopita, and put him in his will.
Baron Von Spanakopita's Coke addiction became more severe after Ray Liotta, and John Cusack smuggled 12 cases onto the set of IDENTITY.
After David Fincher had begged him for weeks Baron Von Spanakopita was called onto Finchers latest project The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It was on the set that he and Rooney Mara began dating. When confronted he became enraged and stomped off stage at a Q and A in post production.
