When he was in college, Wes Anderson made a documentary.

From a '97 Variety article:

>[Anderson and Owen Wilson] made their first film together in college after getting into a dispute with the landlord of the house they were renting.

>“We stopped paying rent and ended up moving out of the house in the middle of the night because he wouldn’t do repairs on the windows,” Anderson recalls. “We ended up resolving the conflict by making a 20-minute documentary about him. It was called ‘Karl Hendler Properties,’ which was the name of his company.” The $350 budget for the film was provided by Hendler.

That name, Karl Hendler, already sounds like a Anderson character. I could imagine Anderson being very good at taking a random "ordinary" person and examining their quirks and character in a documentary, just sort of letting them talk about their life and going about their day.

I also recall that the scene in "Bottle Rocket" where they do a "test" break-in at Anthony's house was inspired by their college living situation (apparently, the landlord wouldn't fix the wondows so Anderson and Wilson staged a break in to try and convince him to fix it).

Anderson also talks about the documentary briefly in that "Wes Anderson Collection" book:

>There was a public-access station in Houston, and I got to use their equipment. I made a documentary about my landlord Karl Hendler. I made it on commission from him in order to pay him some debts I owed him, but he didn’t like it.

>He didn’t like the documentary?

>No, but he was up-front about it. I don’t think he was mad. He just didn’t think it was going to be helpful to him.

>Do you still have it?

>I’m sure it’s somewhere, but I don’t currently have access to it.

Crazy to think that access to camera/editing equipment used to be so damn hard. Wes Anderson had to borrow from a Public Access station. Unless you went to film school, it'd be hard to get film shot/developed (and before digital video, no one would take something shot on VHS seriously). Nowadays, you could make a feature film with your smartphone, but back in the '80s/'90s, it was only really determined people who could dabble in filmmaking.
