Guy Ritchie (1968)
Director and scriptwriter. In 1995, Ritchie got a job as a runner and this proved to be the start of his film career. He quickly progressed and was directing music promos for bands and commercials by 1995. The profits that he made from directing these promos was invested into writing and making the film, “The Hard Case” (1995). His debut feature was “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”, which was made on a budget of £1.6 million and went on to become the third highest grossing British film of all time.
