Fedgling filmmakers are often comforted to find that many of their favorite directors had precarious beginnings, producing short films that were visually underwhelming and thematically overwrought (see: Darren Aronofsky's god-awful first attempt to adapt Hubert Selby, Jr. for the screen in his 1992 short, FORTUNE COOKIE).
Occasionally, though, those early short films emerge to unequivocal critical acclaim, catapulting their neophyte creators into the limelight and attracting financiers to fund their subsequent features. To show what it takes to make it big in Hollywood, here are 16 shorts that helped launch the careers of filmmakers who later went on to be some of the greats. Use these as inspiration, raw talent exists but no one starts at the very top.
