Glad to have discovered this channel a few years back. I always have a great time listening to these video essays.
Kubrick's story was an ongoing success story with making documentary films to making the best films ever made. Lynch's story was a go lucky type situation with Eraserhead with AFI paying for the finances of the film. Nolan's story is well... he successfully made Following with no money but the idea of making films because you enjoy it is an understatement in today's culture.
I’m really gonna miss David Lynch because his films were so weird yet creative in terms of storytelling and the news of his death was devastating to me. But as sad as his death was I think people will always appreciate his films for generations to come and I still think Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive are some of my favorite films of all time.
Including the name of films in the bottom corner is helpful, thank you
My favorite debut film is Pi by Darren Aronofsky, which he financed through donations from his relatives and acquaintances. It features many of Darren's signature characteristics, including psychological drama, close-up tracking shots, and religious themes. But my favorite aspect of Pi is its cinematography, a harsh black-and-white look, achieved by shooting on black-and-white reversal film and later pushing during the development
Inspiration everywhere.
Shane Carruth made Upstream Color for 50k and Primer for 7k
Hooray, a new video! The day is saved.
Pretty funny to see how things start and how they end up
Darren Aronofsky's Pi is another great example of seeing where a director started off.
