About this item
Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Reservoir Dogs by diving into the brilliant, twisted mind of Quentin Tarantino and discover the artistic process of an Oscar-winning legend.Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1963, Quentin Tarantino spent many Saturday evenings during his childhood accompanying his mother to the movies, nourishing a love of film that was, over the course of his life, to become all-consuming. The script for his first movie took him four years to complete: My Best Friend's Birthday, a seventy-minute film in which he both acted and directed. The script for his second film, Reservoir Dogs (1992) , took him just under four weeks to complete. When it debuted, he was immediately hailed as one of the most exciting new directors in the industry.
