Here’s a career that supports the idea that
in order to to make good stories,
you need to consume good stories.

Meet: Quentin Tarantino
Tarantino: "In this modern art going on, there is a
slightly, you know, for lack of a better word,
a hip-hop aesthetic of taking
something that already exists, taking
what you like from what already exists
and putting it into your own work
and by the way you do it and the way you frame it,
creating something that didn't exist before."
Tarantino famously stated that
he didn’t go to film school, he went to films.
Not just the Woody Allens, Martin Scorseses
and Jean Luc-Godards,
but to everything else as well.
From Kung-fu movies to classic-thrillers,
all have been touched by Tarantino
and have found their way into his films.
And by combining arthouse with pulp,
Tarantino has managed to fit himself into a pocket
that both criticizes traditional arthouse cinema
while also being arthouse cinema.
He’s become a sort of gateway
for viewers unfamiliar with avant garde cinema
to dive into a world
they would’ve otherwise thought of as too esoteric
or “high-brow.”
Winnifield: "Mmm!
GodDAMN, Jimmy!
This some serious gourmet shit!"
A film-lovers filmmaker,
Quentin Tarantino doesn’t simply pander
to a low-brow audience,
but instead challenges them to raise
their own standards–
introducing them to non-linear narratives and
alternating character perspectives,
all while giving them his signature of borderline
excessive but all-too-entertaining violence.
