Come on a screenwriting journey with Quentin Tarantino.
I have this fantasy that when Quentin Tarantino retires from directing, he will use some of his free time to become a film professor. But I’m not sure that has any likelihood of happening, so I guess I’ll have to settle for these compilation videos where people assemble all the advice Tarantino’s ever given about writing. In this article, we’re going to look specifically at Inglourious Basterds, and how that movie is really perfect to learn from as a writer.
