Awesome filmmaking lessons from Taika Waititi

New Zealand Filmmaker Taika Waititi initially made waves with delightfully quirky coming-of-age films like Boy and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, as well as the hilarious vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows. And his immense talent was so bright that he eventually landed a seat at the helm for the Marvel blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok. Given his critical and commercial success, and the fact that his unique voice and vision shines through no matter what scale the movie is, he’s definitely a great writer/director to follow.

The video below contains three lessons about craft and motivation from Waititi himself, and it’s awesome advice, so check it out!
