8 Embarrassing First Jobs Famous Filmmakers Endured
8. Tarantino Had To Clean Up Dog Sh*t For An Exercise Video
Quentin Tarantino had made a few short films with his friends prior to getting his start, including a short film called Love Birds In Bondage, which was reportedly so awful the director personally burned the footage. Tarantino is said to have shot a graphic sex scene for it, so maybe that was for the best. His first job on a profession shoot was a literal crap job though; he and friend Roger Avary were hired as PAs on Dolph Lundgrens exercise video Maximum Potential. Quentin didnt really know what the role would entail when he arrived, and he was a little heartbroken that his first task as a professional was to scoop dog dirt off of a lawn where Dolph would be exercising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVVvWzCs2RA He swallowed his dignity and did all the demeaning tasks he was handed, though after the shoot was over he was furious that Dolph didnt recognise him when they later shared an elevator together.
