Paul Schrader (born 22 July, 1946 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is a screenwriter and film director, renowned for his characters that fall into desperation while their world crumbles around them.

Despite his credentials as a director, Schrader has received more recognition for his screenplays directed by others.
