Rebel without a crew : or how a 23-year-old filmmaker with $7,000 became a Hollywood player

"No one has landed on the cinematic map with more explosive force than Robert Rodriguez, director of El Mariachi [and Once upon a time in Mexico]. Just how did this amateur filmmaker from Texas--with only one camera, no crew, and a budget largely raised by subjecting himself to medical experimentation--manage to complete a feature film for $7,000 and get himself wined and dined by Hollywood's biggest movie moguls? Now, in his own witty and straight-shooting style, Robert Rodriguez discloses all the unique strategies and innovative techniques he used to make El Mariachi on the cheap. You'll see firsthand Rodriguez's whirlwind "Mariachi-style" filmmaking, where creativity--not money-- is used to solve problems. Cumulating in his "Ten-Minute Film School," this book may render conventional film-school programs obsolete. Rodriguez's inspiring nuts-and-bolts account features the full El mariachi shooting script, post-production tips, film festival anecdotes, publicity blitz secrets--and even an insider's view of the courtship he enjoyed with Hollywood's A-list. Rebel Without a Crew is both one man's remarkable story and the essential guide for anyone who has a celluloid story to tell and the dreams and determination to see it through."--Page 4 of cover.

  • "In his own exceptionally witty and straight-shooting style, Robert Rodriguez discloses all the unique strategies and innovative techniques he used to make El Mariachi on the cheap - including filming before noon so he wouldn't have to buy the actors lunch. You'll see firsthand Rodriguez's whirlwind, "Mariachi-style" filmmaking, where creativity - not money - is used to solve problems. Culminating in Robert Rodriguez's "Ten-Minute Film School," this book may render conventional film-school programs obsolete. Rodriguez also offers an insider's view of the amazing courtship he enjoyed with Hollywood's A-list. It's an entertaining tour of Hollywood's deal-making machine as he navigates you through studio meetings, pitch sessions, and power lunches with the biggest names in the industry. Candidly divulging all the tactics and tempting lures the warring studios used to win him over, he admits that he barely escaped with his movie and his soul intact."@en
