Have You Seen 'The Best Quentin Tarantino Interview Ever'? | No Film School

Back in 2013, Quentin Tarantino sat down for a LONG interview covering his entire body of work at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. It's been referred to in various corners of the internet as the greatest interview Tarantino has ever done. He's never shied away from talking about his work, and in this instance, he really has the room to expand upon all his thoughts. If you're a QT fan and you haven't seen it, well it is a probably must-watch.

Tarantino is of course known for doing things his way, whether people like it or not. While his spirit on set breeds success, he's certainly rubbed plenty of people the wrong way.

In this long discussion, he gets into the 'why' behind his unique process. It's a fascinating look inside the work of one of the most influential and popular writer-directors of a generation.

If you still feel like you need some creative guidance from Quentin despite watching that whole interview, check out Tarantino's best screenwriting advice.

Mark Duplass Has Some Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

Mark Duplass Shares His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
