Hans Canosa

An American film director, screenwriter, film editor and producer best known for his independent film Conversations with Other Women (2005), starring Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter
Canosa was born in Holden, Massachusetts, USA, where he received a Fundamentalist Christian education from his parents. Because their beliefs did not support films, Canosa did not go to a movie theater until he was 17 years old. He chose to attend Harvard College, for which he was disinherited by his parents. There he directed several plays and videos. He later entered New York University’s graduate film program, but dropped out when he felt it was too restrictive for him. It was that day he first saw a film in a theater that Canosa first came up with the idea for a splitscreen film which he used in filming Conversations with Other Women.
