Description
Robert Rodriguez: A Filmmaker on His Own Terms Robert Rodriguez is a filmmaker who has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in cinema. From his ultra-low-budget debut El Mariachi to his more recent family-friendly Spy Kids series, he has proven himself to be a versatile and innovative director. With this book, the first comprehensive portrait of his life and work, Rodriguez opens up about his approach to filmmaking, his experiences with digital technology, and his views on the film industry. In candid interviews and articles from 1993 to 2010, Rodriguez shares his thoughts on guerilla filmmaking, the digital revolution, and his personal life. He also discusses his disdain for Hollywood's traditional approach to filmmaking, and how he has sought to create a more independent and creative alternative. This book provides a unique insight into the mind of one of the most successful Latino filmmakers working today. Through these portraits, Rodriguez reveals himself as a passionate and uncompromising artist who is committed to making films on his own terms. His story offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of independent filmmaking, and serves as a testament to the power of creativity and determination.
