 Inspirational!!! Mar 08, 2010
This book was great! It was very inspirational, reading the path Robert Rodriguez walked in order to make, sell and promote his indie film. He goes through his process of acquiring funds, writing, filming, and selling his project. The books even has a 10 minute film class that is very informational for those of you who want to get started. This book has inspired me to start filming immediately, I'm currently on the hunt for my camera to start filming my shorts and feature film on my own, in mariachi style. I gigot recommend this title or those of you who want to undergo the task of getting yourself started on your own. BUY NOW!!!!
Inspirational! Nov 27, 2009
I had never seen a film by Robert Rodriguez before reading this book, but what an amazing story! It could inspire anyone to want to make a movie even if you've never contemplated such an idea before. As a start-out film maker, it's been far more inspiring than any technical book I've read on the subject of film making. If you are a film maker, and you have somewhat succeeded in what RR calls "becoming technical", then this book oozes just enough technical stuff to keep it informative without detracting from what the book really is - a recount of his experience making El Mariachi. Whatever you take from the book, it's going teach you something.
Rebel Without A Crew is also a hilarious read. Rodriguez writes very freely and this is one of those books responsible for the well-known cliche "once you start you can't put it down" or something along those lines.

 Indie film makers can get all the info for free--I am glad to see the rate reduced Oct 29, 2009
(now I am glad to see the rate reduced)
His achievements are phenomenal and are an inspiration to all indie film makers NO QUESTIONS about that but guys we all know his story.
The reviews forced me to purchase a new copy though my gut feeling, after reading a few pages on the Amazon, said this will be it in his book--but I made the mistake of buying it.
He doest give enough tips about film making all he says is his brief experiences before and during the making of E.M and elaborate details while selling and promoting his film.
This book has 285 pages of which 75 pages are his screenplay for El Mariachi which can be downloaded for free online.
The 10 minute Film School part consists of 14 pages---this can be seen on You Tube or his DVD of E.M.
Better still to buy his DVD rather than this book.
Guys if you are an indie film maker do not buy this book at all, Mr.RR could have at least reduced the price of this book by half.
If anyone is interested in collaborating for a film venture, please let me know I am a well read and an informed guy.
Insane! Oct 14, 2009
This book is insane and so is Robert. Sorry I never reviewed this book. It was my first film making book.
A great inspiration and a wonderful read. Gets you all stirred up, you'll be ready to shoot your own film, you'll be so pumped.
Get it, read it. You'll love it.

Entertaining & Inspiring Aug 08, 2009
The story of how one man went from an amateur film-maker to a Hollywood superstar. A thoroughly entertaining and inspiring story. A must for any budding film-maker.
