| March
27, 1963 was the year that 16 year old,Connie Zastoupil, gave birth to
one of the best screenwriters and Directors,
Quentin Jerome Tarantino named after the character Quint in Gunsmoke played
by Burt Reynolds. |
| He received
his movie education from Carson Twin Cinema, Scottsdale and was later,
at the age of 22 became an employee of Video Archives at Manhatten Beach,
while training to be an actor in 1980. He continues for six years. |
| Here
he met Roger Avery and spent all day day doing what he loved, discussing
films! Even though he still wanted to be an actor, he drop that goal to
go for something bigger, directing. |
| In 1990
Tarantino wrote Reservoir Dogs. January 1991 was the year that we got
our first taste of Tarantino, and boy was it a taste! Reservoir Dogs(1992)
hit the Sundance Film festival. The writer-Director was a first timer
and everyone was shocked. The film reaped critical praise and Tarantino
became a legend in England, UK and the cult film circuit. |
| Three
years later, in 1994, the next Tarantino instalment would be Pulp Fiction.
This premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the popular 'Palme
D'Or' which is practically equal to the Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
At the 94' Academy Awards Pulp Fiction was nominated for Best Picture
Oscar, in addition Best Director and Best Screenplay, among others. But
Tarantino and his writing partner, Roger Avary, only came away with Best
Original Screenplay, and Roger said his now famous line "I gotta
go pee". |
| In 1998
Tarantino directed his Third movie. He rewrote the movie Jackie Brown
from the novel 'Rum Punch'. This kind of movie might disappoint fans expecting
another Pulp Fiction film. But with actors like Pam Grier, Samuel L Jackson,
Robert De Niro and Micheal Keaton what does it matter! |
