- In this video, Quentin Tarantino talks on the struggle to become a writer and film director.
Many people believe that Hollywood maverick Quentin Tarantino broke into the film business overnight, but he worked independently on the periphery of Hollywood for years before breaking through.
By intercutting a series of interviews Tarantino has partaken in over the years, this video tells the brief story of Quentin Tarantino's early days, showing how he broke into Hollywood to become a writer and director and remaining at the top of the pyramid for 30 years.
He talks about the production failures of My Best Friend's Boyfriend, the rejection he faced in trying to finance True Romance and Natural Born Killers, and how those screenplays contributed to his breakthrough in the end.
This is Quentin Tarantino's success story, and it may provide useful insights about the struggle to become a writer and director of films if you're an aspiring filmmaker yourself. Persistence and a refusal to ask for permission is really at the heart of the message..

I'm still trying to get my first script perfected. I have always looked at Quentin Tarantino as a huge inspiration. Even if I never succeed at turning my work into a movie, it will always be a passion of mine.
same shit here. But I am two days before shooting my own first short film
@@villagees9547 Congrats!!! I'm at my nights job. Lol. Gotta pay the bills.
@@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz Wish you both guys success with your scripts!
@jonathanbirch2022
Perhaps there will be another film renaissance down the line as people progressively become more sick and tired of the big corporate movies.

I went dating with this philosophy and now I’m facing serious jail time. Thanks for nothing Tarantino!
@@fredrik8500 skill issue
@@fredrik8500 same situation with me but instead of dating I went to the bank and now also facing jail time
Yeah I just heard him say that in the video
Very true.
What's the song that plays in the background, if you still know it? Also, just subbed! Hey disappointed to see that you only have four videos listed, as i listen to youtube at work XD. I look forward to more!
As they say .. overnight success is 20 years in the making!

I remember an interview with Dicky Barret of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (who started in the early 80's), responding to being called an "overnight" success for their 1997 song "The Impression That I Get": “If it was an overnight success, it was one long, hard, sleepless night.”
Thank you for your videos, just foundn your channel and binged
Thank you for watching them, man. It's always nice to hear someone say they binge-watched them.
These are really great man, i hope you keep'em coming. Just watched all of them today.
Thanks man! More to come.
10 grand went a lot further in the 90s I tell ya that!
You've earned a sub. Keep 'em coming. Watched all your stuff so far.
Thank you for watching them - glad you've enjoyed them. Definitely more to come.
It's great to know true talent shines through and gets recognized eventually, this video was a reminder to be patient and not quit just because things aren't working out for a few years
This is just a bonkers take, and that is obvious if you just examine it for half a second. Many people throughout history (writers and artists in particular), where not recognised until long after they died, and neither their hard work or talent earned them anything while they were alive. People far more talented and important than Tarantino. George Orwell for example was reviled in his time, and died owning nothing but a typewriter and the clothes on his back.
@@fredrik8500 intellectual (not Equal to) artist
@@daanisch what?
@@fredrik8500 being an intellectual is not a career path, although the craft of writing is a trade, george orwell is known for his intellectual contribution to the field of political science and sociology he is not known for being "just" a novelist, its like calling dostoesky just a novelist, I thought I should inform you before you sound stupid at a public gathering
@@daanisch kind of a goofy and needlessly snarky response given that @Fredrik didn’t specifically refer to Orwell as a novelist. With that said, Animal Farm and 1984 are far and away his most recognizable contributions. Regardless, the point still stands that those achievements didn’t earn him shit during his lifetime.
Can you imagine being so disillusioned on trying to get your scripts bought and filmed that one day, just as you’re about to give up, you manage to get someone like Harvey Keitel to sign on to what you were planning to make as a home movie? I bet Quentin was probably scared shitless that day but that was the push he finally needed I guess. Good for him.
Thank you, this is incredibly inspiring. In the history told of Tarantino, it always makes it sound like he broke out with "Reservoir Dogs" as his first movie and he didn't have much struggle before that. But to know TARANTINO had a hard time making it in the industry, that is actually very comforting. Although I or anyone else as filmmakers will likely never reach what he has been able to do, to know that he too had to walk that hard road to get recognized is incredible.
When I first watched Reservoir dogs in 2015 when I was 18 years old I didn’t know that it was Quentin and I didn’t know that he was going to become one of my favorite directors. I love the way he crafts stories.
If you saw the evidence I have seen of sexually abusing a tiny girl you would want him locked up for life in a very distant place... he is a MONSter...
It’s not really all that “incredible”. It’s called LIFE, SON!
That’s why he’s the man!
Great video! What's the name of the song??
I needed to watch this. Thanks
Reservoir dogs, pulp fiction, inglorious bastards and hateful eight are simply the best.
What I learned: Stop asking permission; take things into your own hands.
Love it.
It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission, what’s done is done and you can’t change it so you just have to move forward.
what i learned: putting effort and lots of work is the most important thing
With that thumbnail, I thought he was asking for permission for something very different.
"I made ten thousand dollars a year working minimum wage."
...and somehow he wasn't sleeping on Skid Row.
Amazing how the world used to work.
Didn’t even credit Nils Frahm SMH
So Inspiring. Quentin Tarantino is one of the Best Filmmaker. Who makes the Cinema Reborn. Thanks for telling us his story.
True Romance is one of ur best. Goes to show why we see the garbage films we’ve seen since about 2006/2007💯
True Romance was written in the same style as Pulp Fiction, non linear, which would have made for a better movie. Its still one of my favorite films ever, the cast is superb and full of huge names, never has James Gandolfini been so menacing as Virgil, Jack Black appears in one of the deleted scenes..!!. One of the deleted scenes has Vincent Cocotti coming down in an elevator to attend his daughters wedding, and talking real gangster talk Tony Scott changed the format to linear maybe cos he thought the audience werent very smart. He also filmed two endings, one where Clarence lives and one where he dies. QT wrote it where Clarence dies but also agreed to the ending created by Tony Scott. The screenplay is superb, non linear. Sadly, Tony killed himself by jumping from a bridge
So inspirational and informative. Great finds. Thanks.
Nice one dude, you're very welcome.
Joe Rogan has a great podcast indeed.
Thank you for posting. I love it
Didn’t Keitel put a whole bunch in? I thought he was important in getting RD made?
I thought this video would be about Tim Roth lol
I need to revisit this everytime i get demotivated in this field
Some thought provoking and surly violent movies,but in a league with the greats film makers.
Part of this shows the importance of Networking and HONING your craft. Even if not writing, he made connections. He started polishing scripts to see what was good vs bad.
this is THE type of content im looking for, i can easily be inspired if I watch a film director's success, but what would get me stick to my chair and listen to it for hours would be the struggles behind their success, now THATS what I'm here for..
QT bringing a new level of brutality to cinema that wasn't disrespected cheap horror films was a great thing for us action and crime thriller lovers.
Easiest 46 million views ever
any1 have the link to the full Joe Rogan episode with Quentin?
The weird music in the background adds nothing. I think QT would agree
Now in todays technology it’s easier than ever, find events and festivals, make connections, educate yourself which is again easier than ever before
It being more accessible than ever means there's also a vast amount more competition than their used to be
Hey listen to his Howard stern video about partying with 13yr olds. Quentin tarenTEENo
Don’t give up on your dreams. What you desire, desires you.
Your caption should say ..."the production failures of My Best Friend's Birthday," That's the title, not My Best Friend's Boyfriend.
Why did you put the lame trance bed underneath this?
That’s a good thing to hear.
Projerad in the thumnail?!?

I NEEDED THIS . THANK YOU
I can relate. Thank you for sharing
i feel like creators these days are asking too much permission and to the wrong crowed no less
I wonder what he would be doing if he hadn’t been able to succeed in making films. I could see him becoming a film critic.
Nice
Nowadays talentless hacks seem to 'make it' in the current Hollywood industry world.
This is a great video with a great vibe. So many crappy versions of this type of motivational video, but yours is well edited, clean and to the point! Never knew this about Tarantino before.
When you turn down the big guys who offer you lots of money so they can take full control of your craft, that's when true talent shines and they begin to notice you.
I needed to hear this. this is great
This video made me rewatch Reservoir Dogs thank you !
True Romance amazing film
It's not a QT movie, but yes, TR is awesome.
? He wrote it
It's not a pendulum. You only ever hear people say that because they are the ones for whom it did swing in the other direction.
The many many others who kept failing don't get interviewed.
Also, nobody makes it on their own. It's always "i finally met somebody who gave me money", "met somebody who knew somebody", met someone to believe in me", "got lucky"
All the destiny in your own hands BS is painting a wrong picture. By all means, pursue your dreams. But not at the expense of everything else. Have a fallback plan. Otherwise there is a very slim chance you will become the next Tarantino and a very good chance you will just end up desolate with nobody to remember you.
in this climate, future Tarantinos might not ever get a chance
Reservoir Dogs is my favoriteTarantino movie,😍💙
I thought this was a big professional channel! Great stuff
Thanks man. It's early days.
@Fatih Thanks mate
what a stupid title
I stopped asking permission and started taking destiny into my own hands, and guess what? Now I'm homeless.
Destiny specifically asked you several times to stop touching her. Please remove your belongings from near the strip clubs dumpster.

This is the flip side they don’t tell you about.
What’s the music used in this video? Very motivating by the way.
I don't always agree with things that Quentin says but you cannot deny the man has vision, and drive I think his story could be a great inspiration for many of us
Is Charlie wearing his bathrobe?
Is the film that he’s referring to at the start available?
Part of it is. Tarantino claims it to be unfinished. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/X6MUbRZSg80/w-d-xo.html
@@cinedome1 thanks so much!
Alan Turing was great
If this is your own edit and not some stolen property - well done mate. Very on point and very professional. Plus - we all love Tarantino lol.
I know he's only going to make one more movie, but I hope that one day he'll reconsider and make his versions of True Romance and Natural Born Killers
Well said

I guess he's talking at the start about 'My Best Friend's Birthday,' his first film, which you can see on TH-cam. I'd have liked to hear more about that. It's got a lot of strong stuff, some of it very recognisably Tarantinoesque, but the story is barely there. It'd be really interesting to hear specifically about how he got better at story, or why it was weak there if he'd already written a strong story for 'True Romance.'
great work
Hay y not? Government money is like a $500 toilet seat it never stops and the trail loses its scent/sense.
This is what's missing from Hollywood today. Talent, enthusiasm, hard work and creativity. It's all been replaced with entitlement, political correctness and laziness.
It's hard to even remember that Hollywood used to be great. A gift that entertained the world. Today Americans are ashamed of it.
Some Americans are part of this shame, don't you agree?
@@huntermk1868 I do.
True Romance is a fucking classic
All I can say is it's hard. God has blessed me with a gift to be a screenwriter, film producer, and director and I thank God every day for that gift, but I stop to think saying to myself where will I get the money to make this film? I'm poor I only make $350/week I have bills to pay, but if Quintin can do it when he was making $150/week than I can do it too.
You have to write a good story first, before you can make a movie.
writing a good story doesn't cost you much.
you just need a notebook and a pen.
@@davidjacobs8558 I will do that thanks you that's what Tyler Perry did when he was living in his car he wrote plays and scripts. It was harder for him because he was homeless I'm not thank God, I live with my parents and got a sister who gives me $4,000.00 every year to raise money to have my film made, to buy a laptop, and take screenwriting classes online. It's possible we got this.
It's a long haul, I started writing 9 years ago and still haven't made it.. close tho
@@starbright6579 you have plenty of support
@@nonono9194 Screenwriting is like an unrealistic job that's hard to become, sometimes I day to myself how can I pay my bills? Because we do all have bills to pay, but we have our day jobs or night jobs to help support that. With that said it is very hard to sell a script to a producer you're so right about that one that's why I want to become a police officer because I always wanted to be that since I was 5 years old now becoming a police is a realistic job and it's easy to become more than a screenwriter, film producer, and film director. I'm not giving up or saying give up on your dreams I'm speaking for myself not others. I just need to have another job in mind in case I don't become a screenwriter and producer because I'm black American but I tell Latino stories and want Latino actors which is very hard because Hollywood doesn't want Latino movies or shows on American channel network's. So it's possible my movies will be in tv but not my shows because Latino shows always get pulled off the air on American channels which means I might just have to be an author and police officer.
Quentin rewrote some big Hollywood films with no credit. One being Crimson tide. Pretty sure he was involved with Desperado also and that's why he was put in the film.
A bit of money went a long way as well in the 90s
Nice story.
However, I wouldn’t seek investors on a project unless I really had to. It’s a huge gamble. The Coen’s raised one million from random strangers (so they say).
But only a small percentage of people can pull that off.
Love the music. What song is this?
I know it’s by Nils Frahm but i can’t seem to find the song
Nevermind it’s “retour” by tony Anderson. They sound very similar
QT is a very authentic guy
the pendulum swings!
True Romance is still one of my favorite films of all time.
Great channel! Mate!
Thank man, glad you're enjoying it!
It seems he wrote Reservoir Dogs knowing he might not get funding for it.
If the robbery was included it would be a far more elaborate movie.
In the end though, that gave it a uniqueness and charm. It was like a heist movie version of 12 angry men.
Good video but the background music takes away from it.
This is a GREAT video. Every kid should watch this. Awesome!
Still waiting for that pendulum to swing the other way.
Inspirationnal
True Romance was a PHENOMENAL MOVIE
It’s nice hearing his come up can’t do this now and days. The cost of living is so crazy you can’t make time to fund anything but what you need. Unless you have parents that are willing to still give you money.
True romants was a good movie I like it
What song is this playing in the background?? It's dope
It's depressing that a genius like Tarantino had to fight for a decade just to start using his talent. So much nepotism holding back real artists.
I've been working for 9 years now to break in as a writer just like him looool yep definitely alot of wasted years
@@nonono9194 Remember those years aren't wasted, it's all part of the process, any process
@@アストーム it's made me have to get so good at my job that I force my way in but yeah basically all of my 20s will be spent grinding whilst broke which is a shame but at least it's nearly over, having connections I would've been worse at my craft but had a more fun life
@@nonono9194 Exactly! I'm experiencing the same with music-production. But the slow way is the stable way I think. It also makes you appreciate the growth in your craft, if you have the right mindset.

The lesson:
Be Quintin Tarantino and you can achieve your dreams.
I you don't fail you will not succeed.
you can be the best in your field, but you have to start at the bottom
