Rebel Without a Crew
The diary of a seven-thousand-dollar film, including how it was paid for and what got faked.
The diary Rodriguez kept while making El Mariachi for seven thousand dollars, some of it raised by volunteering for medical trials. It is a practical document rather than an inspirational one: what he shot, what it cost, what he faked, and what happened when Hollywood came calling afterwards.
