Rebel Without a Crew, by Robert Rodriguez. It's seriously a very inspiring and helpful book if you want to make movies.

Rebel Without a Crew, by Robert Rodriguez. It's seriously a very inspiring and helpful book if you want to make movies.

Good book, but remember that Rodriguez's story is much like reading a book about moneymaking called "Play the Lottery".

You'll learn much from that book, but it's not the best blueprint for aspiring filmmakers! But who knows, you could be the next Robert Rodriguez the prophesy has foretold. lol. :beer:

Man, even if Robert Rodriguez is like gambling or wishing on stars, the man's got an inspirational story. Read his book and you'll be right on your way to making a movie, no matter the circumstances.
