Because not everybody can make it in the business. Someone has to fail for others to make it.
Talent isn’t everything. It’s mostly about the inner drive, the ability to turn your ideas into movies, and a bit of luck. If you can stop talking about making movies and actually make them, then you have a far greater chance of being discovered. I can’t tell how many talented people I’ve met in my life who could’ve become fantastic directors, but unfortunately they didn’t have the inner drive and that something that separates the great from the potentially great.
Even Quentin himself when asked what advice he would give to aspiring filmmakers said "“If you want to make a movie, make it. Don’t wait for a grant, don’t wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it.” Some people never stop waiting and they never make it.
