- Born
- Nick Broomfield was born on January 30, 1948 in London, England, UK. He is a director and producer, known for Ghosts (2006), Battle for Haditha (2007) and Aileen Wuornos: Selling of a Serial Killer (1992).
- His documentaries often have a meta-textual and self-reflexive aspect in which he and the filmmaking process itself become a subject.
- Last person to interview Aileen Wuornos before her execution.
- Went to a Quaker boarding school.
- His mother was a Czech refugee.
- Has one son with Joan Churchill: Barney Broomfield.
- Father was Maurice Broomfield, a photographer.
- I was taught by someone who loved observational films where people are made to feel completely adequate about the way they are. That is what makes an insightful film.
- A film is a portrait of an aspect of society.
- I'd never use "middle-class" as a term for describing someone. It's so meaningless. So bland.
- Dennis Potter once said watching my films was like watching somebody on the toilet. Strangely enough, I think the same could be said about him.
- Chaos is a creative place to work from.
