Rebel Without A Crew

In "Rebel Without a Crew," famed independent screenwriter and director Robert Rodriguez ("Sin City, Sin City 2, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Spy Kids)" discloses all the unique strategies and original techniques he used to make his remarkable debut film, "El Mariachi, " on a shoestring budget. This is both one man's remarkable story and an essential guide for anyone who has a celluloid story to tell and the dreams and determination to see it through. Part production diary, part how-to manual, Rodriguez unveils how he was able to make his influential first film on only a $7,000 budget. Also included is the appendix, 'The Ten Minute Film Course," a tell-all on how to save thousands of dollars on film school and teach yourself the ropes of film production, directing, and screenwriting.
