the real standouts for me are mike mills and mitchell hurwitz. i started following mills based on the work he did for air, such as the packaging for moon safari and some of their always-great videos:

i finally got around to watching mills' feature debut thumbsucker a few weeks ago, and while the high point was keanu reeves as hippie dentist, the film definitely had its moments.

air - sexy boy

air - kelly watch the stars

mitchell hurwitz. well, the guy created arrested development. good enough for me.
