Don’t Hate on QT’s ONCE: He’s “The Single Most Influential Director” Right?

by Quendrith Johnson, Los Angeles Correspondent

Studio Binder is reminding us that Quentin Tarantino is an actor, writer, and “the most influential director of our generation,” says Peter Bogdanovich. Here’s where to see that video essay from Studio Binder. Studio Binder has The Director’s Chair, a meaningful exploration of some great directors. Watch and remember before ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, lol.

You’re welcome. “Structure Like a Novel,” kids, QT’s best advice. Now start writing, filmmaking, and “cross-cutting” – “I knew this material better than anyone… and be able to talk ‘actor talk.’ I always knew that would be one of my strengths,” counsels Mr. Tarantino (before he was weird… just kidding.)
Sergio Leone (1929-1989) is the most influential director driving Quentin Taratino’s body of work, according to the Pulp Fiction cinematic paradigm shifter.  “You should be sitting right by the camera, not be watching it on a monitor….”

Special thanks to Studio Binder, which you can reference here.

PS, yes, he says good things about Harvey Weinstein, so there’s that warning.
