Robert Rodriguez (@Rodriguez) is a film director, screenwriter,
producer, cinematographer, editor, and musician. He is also the
founder and chairman of El Rey Network, the new
genre-busting English-language cable network. While a student at
the University of Texas at Austin in 1991, Robert Rodriguez wrote
the script to his first feature film while he was a paid
subject in a clinical experiment at a drug research facility.
That paycheck covered the cost of shooting his film. He planned
to make the money back by selling the film to the Mexican home
video market. The film, “El Mariachi,” went on to win the coveted
Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and became the
lowest budget movie ever released by a major studio. Rodriguez
wrote about these experiences in Rebel Without a Crew, a
perennial guide for the independent filmmaker. Rodriguez went on
to write, produce, direct and edit a series of successful films
including Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, the Spy Kids franchise,
Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Frank Miller’s Sin City,
and Machete. I hope you find listening to this episode as
