Danny Turkiewicz opened up about how he came up with Stealing Pulp Fiction
In an interview with Emerson Today published on June 26, 2025, director Danny Turkiewicz spoke about what inspired his original short film. He said that he got the idea ten years ago while attending a midnight screening of Quentin Tarantino’s personal print of Pulp Fiction at his own theater in Los Angeles.
Turkiewicz recalled wondering aloud to his friends if there was any security guarding the print.
"It's a small theater, so you could hear the film going through the projector. I was thinking I could go up to the booth and steal the print," he said.
While Turkiewicz did not steal the print, he used that thought to write the 2022 short film, which received positive reviews on Letterboxd. This positive reception encouraged the filmmaker to make this feature film.
Stealing Pulp Fiction is now in theatres.
