Jonathan Rigg

British auteur Jonathan Rigg, born in 1957 in London, England, emerged as a director to reckon with during the late 1980s. Predominantly working within the realms of drama and thriller, Rigg has directed several acclaimed films, including the riveting "Shadow Games" and the emotionally intense "Fragile Hearts", both of which have won numerous accolades, although they fell short of major film festival awards. Characterized by his compelling narratives and raw, realistic performances, Rigg's films often expose the frailties of human nature and the complexities of the human psyche.

In a more personal tone, Jonathan Rigg is a man who, through his films, has displayed a profound understanding of the human condition, and whose passion for storytelling is as palpable as it is inspiring.
