Brother of screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan, Joe Carnahan has contributed to the film world primarily as a director. After getting his start in the mid-'90s working in the promotional department of a California television station, Carnahan produced several short films and generated a certain amount of excitement within the independent film community for his series of feature-length action flicks: Blood, Guts, Bullets & Octane, Narc, and Smokin' Aces. In 2007, Carnahan directed White Jazz (produced by George Clooney), an adaptation of author James Ellroy's popular crime novel of the same name. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
