"\"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."@en .
