Salute Your Shorts: Wes Anderson's "Bottle Rocket"

By Sean Gandert on 3:00 PM on November 12, 2009

Salute Your Shorts is a weekly column that looks at short films, music videos, commercials or any other short form visual media that generally gets ignored.Whatever else he may be, Wes Anderson has been a large figure in American filmmaking for the past decade. When the AV Club put out its list of 10 Films that Couldn’t Have Happened Without Wes Anderson two years ago, the publication could've kept the list going for ages, and since then the number of films and filmmakers he’s influenced has only grown longer.
