"I can make a big-looking movie for very little money by just being
resourceful, being creative, using the rubber band versus a lot of
technology, and not being ashamed about it." Rogue filmmaker Robert
Rodriguez (b. 1968) rocketed to fame with his ultra-low-budget film
El Mariachi (1992). The Spanish-language action film, and the
making-of book that accompanied it, were inspirational to
filmmakers trying to work with meager resources. Rodriguez embodies
the postmodern auteur, maintaining a firm control of his projects
by not only writing and producing his films, but also editing,
shooting, composing, as well as working with the visual effects. He
was one of the first American filmmakers to adopt digital
filmmaking, now the norm. Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) helped
bring back 3-D to mainstream theatres. He is as comfortable
creating family films (the Spy Kids series) as action (Sin City)
and horror films (Planet Terror). He has maintained his guerilla
filmmaking approach, despite increasing budgets, choosing to work
outside of Hollywood and even founding his own studio (Troublemaker
Studios) in Austin, Texas. He has also arguably become the most
successful Latino filmmaker. In this, the first book devoted to
Rodriguez, interviews and articles from 1993 to 2010 reveal a
filmmaker passionate about making films on his own terms. He
addresses the subjects central to his life and work--guerilla
filmmaking, the digital revolution, his family, and his disdain for
Hollywood. An easy and frank subject, Rodriguez in these portraits
is the rebel director at his most candid, forging a path for others
to break free from Hollywood hegemony. Zachary Ingle, Lawrence,
Kansas, is a Ph.D. student in film and media studies at the
University of Kansas. His work has been published in
Literature/Film Quarterly and Journal of American Culture.
