Edgar Wright

I think we went through that difficult period as teenagers where I think from the ages of like 14 to 17, we hated each other's guts.

And then we got thick as thieves again immediately afterwards.

And he's worked on all of my movies as well.

So he's amazing.

So it's really great to have that relationship.

But there was a period where we hated each other.

I think it was... My parents were both artists and art teachers, and I think they got me and my brother interested in cinema early on.

And they were very supportive parents, because I'm not from a rich background or anything, and I had no connections within the industry, but...

my mum and dad, like, you know, would just kind of, like, encourage us to sort of go for it, even though there was no clear path to being in film.

Yeah.

So I think that the thing was of starting with, like, a Super 8 camera and just making, like, amateur films and sort of just fucking around.

Like, but I think the... And so it was that thing of, like, knowing I wanted to be in film but not knowing exactly how to do it.

And the only way you could really...

like force yourself into doing, it was just making films with your friends and watching things and trying to figure out how they did it and doing the zero budget version of it.

Yeah, I mean, I remember making... I won a video camera on the BBC when I was 16.

I'd entered this competition that was part of Comet Relief, and I won, and I won a video camera, which I previously wouldn't have been able to afford.

But as soon as I had that, it was kind of like my, you know, kind of...

school went out the window a little bit and I was just this amateur filmmaker making films in free periods.

But I would make things like, I didn't have a steadicam, so I would make a fake cradle with a ceiling tile and string and run around with it.

No way.
