Learn Everything You Need to Know About Quentin Tarantino Behind the Camera.


By: Camden Schrickel

Hello Everyone,

    My name is Camden Schrickel, and I am a film major at Washburn University. My passion is to one day become a director and write for film or television. My father has always been enthralled by Tarantino films, one of his favorites being Reservoir Dogs, so I've been exposed to them for a very long time, and they are actually some of the movies that inspired me to want to become a writer and director. The style of his movies and the incredible writing has always captivated me and made me into the movie lover that I am today. With that being said Talkin' Tarantino is gonna be a video-blog that does a deep dive into the Director Quentin Tarantino and his incredible award-winning movies. I will talk about why his movies are so highly touted, how he creates and comes up with the remarkable scripts and ideas for his movies, and maybe settle once and for all if Pulp Fiction is the greatest movie of all time. So, I ask you all to please grab a cup of your favorite gourmet coffee (none of that stuff Bonnie buys) and join me on this journey that is Talkin' Tarantino.

The Relationship Between Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez

     By: Camden Schrickel         Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin Tarantino’ and today we are going to talk about the relationship and partnership between Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.

They were both directors speaking on a panel at the festival talking about the general aestheticization of violence regarding to cinema and giving their opinions on directors like Brian De Palma and Martin Scorcese. Funnily enough years later Tarantino and Rodriguez would also be talked about in th...

Why Tarantino Directs His Films in Chapters

         By: Camden Schrickel                     Hey guys, welcome back to Talkin’ Tarantino and today we are going to talk about one of Quentin Tarantino’s Signature Directing Styles. The Style I'm going to go over is Non-Linear Formatting and Non-Chronological Order. Non-linear formatting and Non-Chronological Order are styles that show a story broken into different chapters almost like a novel and moved around out of chronological order but then all connected together in the final chapter of the film. The most popular example of this in his films is Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction revolves around 4 different stories: Honey Bunny & Pumpkin, Jules & Vince, and Butch and Fabienne, and Marcellus and Mia. A funny story my dad always tells me about when he first saw Pulp Fiction in the theater is after the Honey Bunny and Pumpkin scene in the diner in the beginning my dad and his friend turned t...
