{"product_id":"robert-rodriguez-zachary-ingle-9781617032721","title":"Robert Rodriguez: Interviews","description":"Rogue filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (b. 1968) rocketed to fame with his ultra-low-budget film \u003ci\u003eEl Mariachi\u003c\/i\u003e (1992). The Spanish-language action film, and the making-of book that accompanied it, were inspirational to filmmakers trying to work with the most meager of resources. Rodriguez embodies the postmodern auteur, maintaining a firm control of his projects by not only writing and producing his films, but also editing, shooting, composing, as well as working with the visual effects. He was one of the first American filmmakers to wholeheartedly adopt digital filmmaking, now the norm. \u003ci\u003eSpy Kids 3-D: Game Over\u003c\/i\u003e (2003) helped bring back 3-D to mainstream theatres. He is as comfortable making family films (the \u003ci\u003eSpy Kids\u003c\/i\u003e series) as action (\u003ci\u003eSin City\u003c\/i\u003e) and horror films (\u003ci\u003ePlanet Terror\u003c\/i\u003e). He has maintained his guerilla filmmaking approach, despite increasing budgets, choosing to work outside of Hollywood and even founding his own studio (Troublemaker Studios) in Austin, Texas. He has also arguably become the most successful Latino filmmaker. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this, the first book devoted to Rodriguez, interviews and articles from 1993 to 2010 reveal a filmmaker passionate about making films on his own terms. He addresses the subjects central to his life and work: guerilla filmmaking, the digital revolution, his family, and his disdain for Hollywood. An easy and frank subject, these portraits depict the rebel director at his most candid, forging a path for others to break free from Hollywood hegemony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zachary Ingle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617032727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617032721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Zachary Ingle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939232284927,"sku":"9781617032721","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_54bd26d7-250a-4c49-b0e3-f3f65cd8009d.jpg?v=1681440281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robert-rodriguez-zachary-ingle-9781617032721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
