I decided to choose Quentin Tarantino as my director to emulate. He is one of the most iconic directors of modern time and has worked on some of the greatest movies ever made - the most famous being Pulp Fiction. His film Kill Bill Vol. 1 was actually the film that made me want to work in the film industry.
Early History of Tarantino:
Quentin Tarantino was born Quentin Jerome Tarantino in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1963. He was in love with film from an early age and decided to skip college and go right into the filmmaking industry. His career began in the late 1980s, when he wrote and directed My Best Friend's Birthday. In the early 1990s, however, his career really began as independent filmmaker with his release of Reservoir Dogs in 1992 (which is regarded as a classic and cult hit and one of the best independent films of all time by Empire Mag). Then he released Pulp Fiction in 1994 which shot him into stardom. Then he released Jackie Brown (inspsired by the 1970s "blacksploitation" films). He then released a less popular, but still fantastic, From Dusk Till Dawn, and then took a while to come out with his highly admired cult following film Kill Bill Vol.'s 1 & 2. Later he went on to make critically acclaimed box office buster films such as Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained. A Kill Bill Vol. 3 was in talks, but is said to be no longer a thing.
