Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick, director, screenwriter, and producer.

Born and raised in the Bronx, at the age of thirteen, his father gave him a camera, and young Stanley became so passionate about photography that by the age of seventeen, he was working as a freelance photographer for the magazine Look.

Towards the end of the 1940s, he began developing a passion for cinematography and regularly visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1951, just over twenty years old, he made his debut short film Day of the Fight, self-produced with his savings and later bought by RKO for the This is America series.

Encouraged by the success, Kubrick quit his job at Look and fully dedicated himself to filmmaking.

Two more short films followed: Flying Padre (1951), commissioned by RKO for the Pathe Screenliner series, and The Seafarers (1952), his first color film, commissioned by the Atlantic and Gulf Coast District of the Seafarers International Union.
