Director Study- Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino, known for his gory scenes, gripping story lines as well as his sometimes obscure camerawork. Some of his work includes Reservoir Dogs, which instantly made his name critically acclaimed, Pulm Fiction and Kill Bill.

Reservoir Dogs appeared at the Sundance Film Festival, by the first-time writer-director-actor. With a complex time-code, but simple key plot, the film became a cult classic, and is many aspiring directors primary inspiration.







His company with Lawrence Bender, A Band Apart Records, issues music releases, concentrating mainly on soundtracks.
The companies work includes:

TV commercial for PerfecTV! (1996)

On Broadway in "Wait Until Dark" (1998)

Co-wrote the song "Scooby Snacks" with Fun Lovin' Criminals for their usage of excerpts from Pulp Fiction (1994) and Reservoir Dogs (1992).

Liner notes on the Johnny Cash album "Murder"

Uncredited dialogue "punch-ups" in Crimson Tide (1995).

2000: Wrote liner notes for the Johnny Cash box set "Love, God, & Murder" alongside musician Bono.

Tarantino is set to carry on with his gritty twists on American idealism, and with many more obscure prodjects that no one could have expected. After all, it is Quentin Tarantino.
