Hello family, So I'm doing a little research, please do you know of any successful director who started off his directing career with a feature? Name and movie title please.

No, because unless you are self funded no one will back you unless they can see what your work is like, do shorts first.
Thank you Dan MaxXX

I met a director once called Neil Rolland. He told me that if you can do a feature, do a feature (he made his first for £2000), don't waste your time on shorts, a feature will get you recognised.

Not sure if that would work for everyone but he had made shorts beforehand and said that doing a feature is what actually got him meetings.

None come to mind but may I recommend this best book ever on the subject of directors and their first film! https://www.amazon.com/My-First-Movie-Celebrated-Directors/dp/0142002208 I think you will love it. Its main thorough-line is panic!
Oh' that too is welcome though it would be for a different purpose. Thank you Rachel
