Marc Forster was born and raised in Switzerland. In 1990 after completing his Swiss Maturity degree, he moved to New York and studied film at NYU, graduating in 1993. He stayed in New York to complete two documentary films for European television: Silent Windows, an intimate look at teenage suicide, and Our Story, a touching exploration of the lives of child burn victims. Then Forster was offered the opportunity to direct Loungers, which was completed in 1996 and won the Slamdance Audience Award. Shortly after, he began collaboratively writing and set out to direct Everything Put Together, which premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival in the dramatic competition and earned him the Movado Someone to Watch / Independent Spirit Award. He recently finished directing Monster's Ball, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry and Heath Ledger for Lions Gate Films. Monster's Ball opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 28th.
