Wes Anderson and his first feature film, Bottle Rocket — this is the perfect underdog story of how a couple of scrappy college kids in Texas turned a short film into a filmmaking career. In these Wes Anderson interviews, along with his collaborators like Owen Wilson, we get a glimpse into the filmmaking process, how a spot at Sundance gives us no guarantees of success, and how failures can ultimately lead to successes. This is the making of Wes Anderson’s first film, Bottle Rocket.
Wes Anderson met his future collaborator, Owen Wilson, in a playwriting class in Austin, Texas. Their mutual love of film and filmmaking pushed them to scrape together a short film called Bottle Rocket. Shot in black & white on a painfully low budget, their comedic crime caper managed to land a coveted spot at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. Hoping to capitalize on the situation, Anderson and Wilson were dismayed when no one responded to it. No one, that is, except producers Polly Platt and James L. Brooks.
With real Hollywood muscle and a $5M budget behind them, Wes Anderson turned his 13-minute short into his first feature film, also titled Bottle Rocket. Not only did Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson eventually turn their dream into a reality, but they also did so on their own terms. Upon release, however, Bottle Rocket was a box office failure but it did put Anderson and Wilson in a position to make Rushmore, and the rest is history.
When you look at the following Wes Anderson movies like Rushmore, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and others, you can see in Bottle Rocket the seeds of Wes Anderson’s style. What we also find in Bottle Rocket is the passion for filmmaking and the “never give up” attitude that every beginning filmmaker needs if they want to succeed.
