American director and actor, born 1963 in El Paso (USA).

John Cameron Mitchell first made a name for himself as a stage and television actor. In 1998, he wrote a rock musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, about a queer character in the music business. The film version of this musical won Mitchell the Best Director award at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination. He then turned his attention to naturalistic depictions of sexuality, directing Shortbus (2006), co-written with non-professional actors. In 2010, he adapted David Lindsay-Abaire's play Rabbit Hole, about a father and mother - played by Nicole Kidman - coping with the loss of their son. Continuing his free exploration of genres, in 2018 he directed a sci-fi punk comedy, How to Talk to Girls at Party, starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning. The same year, he created two podcast fictions (Anthem: Homunculus with Glenn Close and Laurie Anderson, and Cancellation Island with Holly Hunter), and released two albums (New American Dream and Anthem: Homunculus). At the same time, he continued touring with his band and his acting career (Girls, Shrill, The Good Fight, City on Fire and Sandman).
