\t\t\t\tFrom PasteMagazine.com: 10 Filmmakers to Follow on Twitter (see the complete article here<\/a>)…and their movies that you can check out from Media Services.<\/p>\n

10. Robert Rodriguez – RobertRdz<\/a>
The Sin City director just joined the world of Twitter (unless this is a fake) a couple of weeks ago when he gave the commencement speech to his fellow University of Texas graduates.<\/p>\n

Planet Terror<\/a> – HU DVD 5201
Sin City<\/a> – HU DVD 1959<\/p>\n

9. Paul Feig – paulfeig<\/a>
Feig directed I Am David and nearly all of my favorite TV shows (Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Mad Men, Weeds, The Office, Freaks and Geeks).<\/p>\n

Freaks and Geeks<\/a> – HU DVD 3441 – 3446<\/span><\/p>\n

8. David Lynch – DAVID_LYNCH<\/a>

Lost Highway<\/a> – HU DVD 4056
Straight Story<\/a> – HU DVD 263
Twin Peaks<\/a> – HU DVD 2961 – 2970<\/p>\n

7. Jon Favreau – Jon_Favreau<\/a>
Since his days as Monica’s boyfriend on Friends, Favreau has gone onto better things\u2014like directing Iron Man 2 and Tweeting about it.<\/p>\n

Iron Man<\/a> – HU DVD 2763<\/p>\n

6. Lee Unkrich – leeunkrich<\/a>
The Pixar director (Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo) talks us through the creation of Toy Story 3 and tells us about sneaking in a Toy Story logo onto one of the balloons in Up.<\/p>\n

Finding Nemo<\/a> – HU DVD 836<\/p>\n

5. Greg Mottola – GregMottola<\/a>
The director of Superbad and Adventureland is shooting a new film called Paul with Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Nick Frost and (according to his Twitter feed) Sigourney Weaver. Holy crap. He’s also diggin’ him some Iron & Wine.<\/p>\n

If you think we should buy his films, feel free to submit a request here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Errol Morris – errolmorris<\/a>
The director of Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line packs a lot of substance into 140 characters like mini-ruminations on truth vs. narrative consistency.

Fog of War<\/a> – HU DVD 791

3. Rian Johnson – rcjohnso<\/a>
The director of Brick and The Brothers Bloom answers all the Tweets directed at him. The down-side is that gives his feed a pretty low signal-to-noise ratio. But it’s also pretty cool that he responds to just about any question.<\/p>\n

Brick <\/a>– HU DVD 2253<\/p>\n

2. David Wain – davidwain<\/a>
The prolific writer\/actor\/director\/blogger is also a prolific Twitterer.<\/p>\n

1. Kevin Smith – ThatKevinSmith<\/a>

Tracy Morgan, so the number of penis puns is um… huge.<\/p>\n

Zack and Miri Make a Porno<\/a> – HU DVD 5313\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
