Born in Denver, Colorado, Fincher started as an animator at Industrial Light and Magic in 1980 and stary until 1984(?). In 1986 he founded video-production company called Propaganda. He directed big-budget videos for artists such as Madonna, George Michael, Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones; as well as commercials. Like a number of other video directors he then moved into film with the debut of Alien 3, which was then the most expensive picture by a first-time director. However, this film is largely considered to be a t flop.
