At just twenty-five years old, he cowrote, produced, directed, and starred in his Academy Award-winning debut film \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e (1941). His innovative and distinctive directorial style--nonlinear narratives, unusual camera angles, deep focus shots, and long takes--continues to be emulated by directors and cinematographers to this day. The brilliant yet provocative Welles won multiple Grammys, a Golden Globe, and the greatest honor the Directors Guild of America bestowed: the D. W. Griffith Award. His final film, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Side of the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, was released in 2018, 33 years after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCitizen Welles: A Biography of Orson Welles\u003c\/i\u003e, author Frank Brady presents a comprehensive and complete picture of the artist and auteur.
