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.
@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 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.”
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!
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.
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 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.
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...
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..
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.
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
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
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
It's amazing that a youtube channel releases a video of Tarantino talking about luck for 5 minutes titled "Yep, a bit of talent went a long way in the 90s."
When someone becomes famous in whatever field they mastered, the public only sees the final product. They do not see the years of pain, heartache, disappointment, and failure.
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.
The very important lessen to take away from this and I learned it way too late is: Stop asking for permission and if it feels right to you do the things the way you want to do it.
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.
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.

It’s not really all that “incredible”. It’s called LIFE, SON!
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
10 grand went a lot further in the 90s I tell ya that!
"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.
❤👍
With that thumbnail, I thought he was asking for permission for something very different.
Reservoir dogs, pulp fiction, inglorious bastards and hateful eight are simply the best.
Nice
So Inspiring. Quentin Tarantino is one of the Best Filmmaker. Who makes the Cinema Reborn. Thanks for telling us his story.

Don’t give up on your dreams. What you desire, desires you.
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
Didn’t even credit Nils Frahm SMH
The weird music in the background adds nothing. I think QT would agree
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.

A bit of money went a long way as well in the 90s

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.
When an artist stops asking for permission to do it their way, they can finally complete their true vision.
Nothing happens overnight it's not the destination it's the journey the process
