Good to know
These are standalone stories with no shared continuity, so there is no chronological order to untangle. This guide lists all eight features, leaving out shorts like Himenoptero and his composing work for other directors. The Others and Thesis play best cold, so avoid plot summaries. Start with Thesis or The Others, then The Sea Inside for his prestige turn.
