Stanley Kubrick?
A Brief Bio of Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was born in The Bronx, New York on July 26, 1928. Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time, Kubrick had humble starts in an early career as a photographer (“Stanley Kubrick's Teenage”).
After his brief tenure in photography, Kubrick devolved into his passion for filmmaking, first creating short films such as Day of the Fight (1951), Flying Padre (1951), and The Seafarers (1953) (“Stanley Kubrick's Teenage”).
Kubrick released his first feature-length film, Fear and Desire, in 1953 and from there he slowly moved up the “Hollywood ladder”(Wallenfeldt and Barson).
Throughout his nearly half-a-century-long career, he only made 13 feature-length films.
