Wes Anderson began his career with shorts. Four years before making his feature debut with 1996’s Bottle Rocket, the idea first started as a short starring two then-unknown actors, Owen and Luke Wilson. As Anderson’s career and ambitions have both grown, he’s often returned to shorts and always made them fascinating endeavors, whether in The Darjeeling Limited’s prologue short film, Hotel Chevalier, the Italian film homage of Castello Cavalcanti, and even his brilliant American Express commercial.
