## Caption

As a young man, Christopher Nolan applied to film school and was turned down. Despite the “no,” he kept shooting small films on weekends with friends. Then came a turning point. In 1999, Nolan and his little brother, Jonathan, made “Memento.” It took a year to find a distributor, but the film became a breakthrough hit and earned an Oscar nomination. #filmschool #christophernolan #moviedirector
