\tSteven Spielberg<\/a> is extending his wisdom from decades of filmmaking experience to two of horror\u2019s most in-demand young directors.<\/p>\n

\tWhile appearing on a recent episode of The Rest Is Entertainment<\/em>, Spielberg was asked what advice he would give to 26-year-old Obsession<\/em> director Curry Barker<\/a> and 20-year-old Backrooms<\/em> director Kane Parsons<\/a>, noting that Spielberg himself was also in his 20s when he directed Jaws<\/em> (1975), which went on to win three Academy Awards. <\/p>\n

\t\u201cDon\u2019t let success go to your heads,\u201d the Disclosure Day<\/a><\/em> director quickly responded. \u201cDo not let wild success go to your heads, because when you make your next movie, you\u2019re starting from scratch.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt\u2019s always good to have a big hit to shore up your reputation, and you\u2019re going to get a lot of respect from executives, from the film world and from the studios. But the advice I\u2019d give them is something I had to learn the hard way: We all start over again,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd if you get the chance to make 20 or 30 films in your career, you will discover, maybe on your second or third film, that you\u2019re beginning your career all over again at the outset of every single project.\u201d<\/p>\n
