Miguel Arteta Biography

Summary

"Miguel Arteta" (born 1965) is an American director of film and television, best known for his independent film "Chuck & Buck" (2000).

Early life

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico to a Peruvian father and Spanish mother, Arteta grew up all over Latin America due to his father's itinerant existence as a Chrysler auto parts salesman. He went to high school in Costa Rica, but was expelled, and went to live with his sister in Boston, Massachusetts, graduating from The Cambridge School of Weston in Weston, Massachusetts. He then attended Harvard University's documentary program where he learned filmmaking. He eventually left for Wesleyan University, where he met future collaborators Matthew Greenfield and Mike White.

After graduating in 1989, his student film "Every Day is a Beautiful Day" won a Student Academy Award, which got him a job as a second assistant camera to Jonathan Demme on "Cousin Bobby". Demme then recommended him to the American Film Institute, and Arteta received his MFA there in 1993.

Career

His first film, "Star Maps", debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. It was a critical hit, receiving five Independent Spirit Award nominations, including Best First Feature and Best First Screenplay. He then turned to directing television shows, helming episodes of "Homicide: Life on the Street", "Freaks and Geeks", and "Six Feet Under". He has also since directed episodes of "The Office" and "Ugly Betty".

Arteta won a 2001 Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature Under $500,000 for "Chuck & Buck", which teamed him up with his fellow Wesleyan alumni Greenfield (producer) and White (screenwriter and star). The trio worked together once more on 2002's "The Good Girl", starring Jennifer Aniston.

Miguel's latest project, "Youth in Revolt", is a romantic comedy starring Michael Cera and due out in 2010. He is also attached to direct a film called "Cedar Rapids". Ed Helms is set to star with Alexander Payne in a producing role.
