Novelist, playwright, poet, and screenwriter, the Argentinian writer Sergio Bizzio has already made his own debut as a film director with Animals, which received the Opera Prima award for Best Screenplay from the National Institute of Cinematography in Argentina. His short story Cinismo was made into a film (XXY) by his girl friend Lucía Puenzo and won four prizes at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007. Rage is his sixth novel, soon to be a film by Guillermo del Toro, director of Pan's Labyrinth.'
