Frank Darabont (born on January 28, 1959) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer.

He was born in a refugee camp in Montbeliard, France. His parents fled Hungary after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. When he was still an infant, his family moved to the United States, where he has remained.

By the age of 20, Darabont became involved in filmmaking. One of his first films was a short adaptation of Stephen King's "The Woman in the Room", which made the semi-finalist list for Academy Award consideration in 1983. This short "Dollar Baby" led to a close association with Stephen King, who granted him the "handshake deal" rights to another of his shorter works, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" which appeared in the collection Different Seasons. Darabont made his feature length directorial debut with Buried Alive (1990), a TV movie for the USA cable network. He became famous, however, after making good on the "handshake deal" with Stephen King and writing and directing The Shawshank Redemption (1994) for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Writing an Adapted Screenplay. The film was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, however, he was not nominated for the Oscar for Best Director.
