Wes Anderson’s interest in movies began when he was just a child. He would enlist the aid of his brothers to make short films using his father’s super 8mm camera. Although his parents’ divorce affected his grades, the budding filmmaker threw himself into his passion for film. He put himself through school by working as a part-time projectionist, graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in philosophy. One of Anderson’s university friends, Owen Wilson, gave him a sense of direction. The two would go on to write their first feature together, Bottle Rocket. Despite the movie’s less-than-stellar reception, Anderson’s endearing tales and quirky visuals soon found an audience.
