Look at my legacy.
Wes Anderson’s original, black & white, 13 minute version of Bottle Rocket.
Anderson’s short film, which he shot in 1992 and distributed two years later, was originally set to star ”real” and established actors but, due to budget issues, the main roles were given to co-screenwriter Owen Wilson and his brother Luke, neither of whom had ever appeared in a film before.
Things worked out okay.
Two years later, with help from early Anderson fan and supporter, James L. Brooks, Bottle Rocket was reworked, reshot, and released as Wes Anderson’s first feature film.

Break a Sweat. A Film by Petra Collins, for adidas StellaSport.
Obsessed with this song, which was used in the climax of ‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’. Cannot wait to see this fantastic film again.
