- Quentin was friends with Craig Hamman, who also had an aversion to authority figures
- they shared a similar taste in movies
- as a teenager, they wrote scenes for themselves to act in
- "My Best Friend's Birthday" was co- written, produced, and starred by the two of them to showcase their talents
- Q was Allan Carfield's first student
- Filmed BF's B-day in Connie's house when she was on a business trip, house was a pigsty
- Quentin used material from BF's Bday in Pulp Fiction (likes to use old material in his works)
- pulled scams/took loans they never repaid (From Q's 2nd stepfather) in order to pay for movie filming equipment and materials
- spent so much time of work, they only got around 3 hours of sleep, they were close to nervous breakdowns
- This was a learning experience for Q, learned technical aspects of filming
True Romance:
- this was another film made, after BFs Bday didnt work out
- could not sell film due to such vulgar language and scenes
- however, finally someone liked it
- Bill Lustig was fired (he was the director)
- he was fired because he wanted to change the script/ending (for commercial purposes)
- Q got Tony Scott (new director of film) to convince Sammy Hadida to fire Bill
- This showed that he really did not want to make changes to his film
- "Quentin puts our culture into a blender and redistributes it as an artistic, entertaining phenomenon
