What Every Aspiring Director Can Learn from Tarantino’s First Feature

Making your first film can feel impossible — unless you take a page from Tarantino’s playbook. With Reservoir Dogs, he showed that vision matters more than budget, and that clever choices can create a lasting impact. By writing a script that could actually be made, leaning into style, and surrounding himself with the right actors, Tarantino turned constraints into a distinctive voice. His debut isn’t just a film — it’s a roadmap for anyone daring enough to make their own mark on cinema.
