Robert rodriguez book download

Describes the making of "El Mariachi" and subsequent Hollywood negotiations for international distribution. In the world of American independent film-making, no one has landed on the cinema map with more explosive force than Robert Rodriguez did with El Mariachi. And he did so with only one camera, no crew, and a budget largely raised by subjecting himself to medical experimentation. Written in an exceptionally witty and straight-shooting style, this book will render conventional film-school programmes obsolete.

Exploding the conventional wisdom that you need at least a million dollars to make a feature film, Rodriguez clearly demonstrates the countless ways to do for free what the pros spend thousands on without a second thought. Rodriguez also offers an insider's view of the amazing courtship he enjoyed with Hollywood. He presents an entertaining tour of the Hollywood deal-making machine as he navigates his way through studio meetings, pitch sessions, and power lunches with the biggest names in the industry.

Candidly divulging the tactics and tempting lures the warring studios used to win him over, he admits that he barely escaped with his movie and his soul intact. Rebel Without a Crew 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. Planet H Man has toppled under the coup of the century and Mex must choose.

Will she settled for her retirement fund or politicians too young to take seriously? Planet Hyman is at a loss as their new and callous leader takes a sabbatical, she has found her "pleasure dome" and while she learns there is more to life than a new manifesto, a coup rises to the occasion. With Mex hungover in Scotland, there is little to stand in their way apart from a hippy colony too chilled to care, a reporter with no scruples, and a missing set of batteries.

They almost make it, grab the operations room, when their new and callous leader arises from her pleasure dome and grabs back her throne. Buy Rebel Without A Crew to blast into a battle of the sexes today! After reading Rebel without a Crew, Vince Rocca was inspired to keep a Journal, which has grown into a no-nonsense account of the real filmmaking process. Everything is covered from film school to the idea, writing it and financing it, the entire shoot, postproduction, film festivals, meeting Kevin Smith and suicidal depression.

No subject is taboo. This book is all about composition, how to see, how to think. It deals with the artistic side of this wonderful discipline. It even helps you to discover more about yourself as a photographer by provoking your own thoughts on how you see the world and how you wish to express it through your camera. Highly recommended. A different photography reading experience. The photographs are exquisite. This book is a work of love.

I strongly recommend it. You learn to look at the art and craft of photography above the equipment and push button software fixes that threaten the integrity of photography as a true art form. An excellent and rewarding read.
