Paul Thomas Anderson filmography American director, screenwriter, and producer Paul Thomas Anderson has directed seven feature-length films, five short films, twelve music videos, one documentary, one television episode as a guest segment director, and one theatrical play. He made his directorial debut with the mockumentary short film "The Dirk Diggler Story" (1988), at the age of 18, about a pornographic actor in the 1970s. Anderson followed it five years later with another short film, "Cigarettes & Coffee" in 1993. In 1996, Anderson wrote and directed the neo-noir crime thriller "Hard Eight", starring Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Samuel L. Jackson. The film was well received, with film critic Roger Ebert saying of it in his review, "Movies like "Hard Eight" remind me of what original, compelling characters the movies can sometimes give us." Using the basis of "The Dirk Diggler Story", Anderson wrote and directed an expansion of the film entitled "Boogie Nights" in 1997. The film starred Mark Wahlberg as Eddie Adams/"Dirk Diggler" during the Golden Age of Porn in the 1970s and his eventual downfall in the 1980s. "Boogie Nights" received acclaim from critics and was a commercial success; at the 70th Academy Awards ceremony, the film was nominated for three Academy Awards, including for Best Supporting Actor (Burt Reynolds), Best Supporting Actress (Julianne Moore) and Best Original Screenplay.
