Re: Top Fave Books

I liked Robert Rodriguez's Rebel Without a Crew...

Coming from an animation background like him, I loved that the things he did are the same I've done. Anybody else read this?

Well, it would have been #6.....but I really enjoyed Bret Sterns How To Make A Feature Film for Under $10,000 and Not Go To Jail. It taught me the essense of Guerilla in a very deep way. I think it is a much more profound book than the surface would imply, and Bret is very much the fullfiller of a particular breed of archetype. Course, Rick is pretty dang Guerilla.
