British director Gareth Edwards has had quite the career when it comes to big-screen sci-fi. He made his micro-budget debut, Monsters (2010), on a shoestring. He also created the VFX and served as the cinematographer on that stripped-back production.
With that film demonstrating his flair and ingenuity, it wasn’t long before Hollywood came calling, and he was tapped to direct the 2014 reboot of Godzilla. From there it was on to another huge franchise with Star Wars spin-off Rogue One.
