Every famous director had to start somewhere right? On First Film, we take a look at feature length directorial debuts to see the origins of today's household name directors. Want to know how James Cameron went from flying piranhas to the highest grossing movies of all time? Or the bizarre, half-play comedy that Orson Welles made only three years before Citizen Kane? We’ve got those stories, and so many more right here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
