I see Wes Anderson as an inspiration. I really like to study his filmmaking techniques and his storystructures. He inspires me to follow my interests as a teenager and he shows me that everyone has to start somewhere. I also take another important message from him: that good friends can last forever. I say this because Owen Wilson plays a character in almost every film (even the recent ones) and even now they still work together. I see him as an example of an indie filmmaker, who started with his friends for fun with no budget and became a famous and an influential person in our culture.

Firstly, Anderson is a filmmaker and producer who started his career by fooling around with his friends. I sometimes make short films with my friends for fun as well, but would like to become a professional filmmaker in the future. Anderson has shown me that if I just follow my passion I could become a professional filmmaker myself.
Other than that, Anderson has a very unique style and usually portrays children and teenagers from their perspective with issues I can relate to.

One of the most important things Anderson has shown me is that you do not have to fit in with the crowd and that it is okay to not be okay sometimes. He makes this clear through his characters, who often are troubled by mental health issues or have complex family relationships.

I personally think that it is very important that mental health becomes a bigger topic in our media and culture. In his movies he shows his characters going through complex emotions and feelings like grief and suicidal thoughts, because sometimes the world can be very colorful around us, but that does not mean everybody is always colorful on the inside. I hope that he inspires more filmmakers to use mental health in their stories and shows people that they are not alone with these feelings.

Wes Anderson has been nominated for 3 oscars and has won several filmmaking awards. He has had a big impact on the indie filmmaking business, because he shows the world that indie filmmakers can be succesful too. His last movies are the most succesful, but before he became a serious director he was just making movies for fun with his friends (Owen and Luke). One of his first short films was bottle rocket, wich he made and produced with a very small budget together with Owen and Luke Wilson. This short film was later discovered on a small film festival and turned into a feature length movie (even the great Martin Scorsese has said in an interview that he very much enjoyed bottle rocket ).

As a filmmaker, he has a very distinct style: rich and colorful images that seem very childish and simple on the surface, but hide very complex characters underneath. He is also known for his symmetry and harmony which are very appealing to the eye.

Wes Anderson is a 53 year old filmmaker and producer. At first he studied philosophy, but later he discovered during a playwright course that filmmaking is his passion. He started with small commercials and short films, but quickly made longer movies with higher budgets. He did al this together with his friends: Owen and Luke Wilson, who became famous actors later in their lives.
