Each was an enigma in his own way: Alfred Hitchcock and Andy Warhol both achieved the status of being legendary directors, but each achieved these accolades in entirely different ways and by following entirely different career paths.

Two of today's modern directors whose approaches to film making are quite opposed, but who manage to generate the same results.
