How to be Quentin Tarantino

With the recent release of Tarantino’s eighth feature as a director, the guys over at Film Doctor take a look back over his career to date, and how the once video store clerk has achieved and maintained his seat at the table of top directors.

“Quentin Tarantino was born Texan, but bred Californian. From his early school years , Tarantino showed interest in acting and participated in drama clubs. He left high school at 16 to attend full-time acting classes at the James Best Theater Company in Toluca Lake.

Then he landed a job at Video Archives, a now-defunct video rental store in Manhattan Beach, California.”
