Yup, subtitle is Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker With $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player.
From wiki:
"Rebel Without a Crew (subtitle: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker with $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player) is a 1995 non-fiction book by Robert Rodriguez. Presented in a diary format, Rebel details Rodriguez' beginnings as a young filmmaker; his stint at a medical testing facility to raise money for a feature film; the making of that film (El Mariachi) for $7,000, and his subsequent experiences in Hollywood selling the film and going to film festivals promoting it.
Later editions of the book also feature one of Rodriguez' tutorials on low-budget filmmaking ("Ten Minute Film School") and the screenplay to El Mariachi."
Uber Ritter:
This summer I'm so far reading yet more PatricK O'Brian Novels (almost done with the Aubrey-Maturin Books), finishing up Go Down Moses[ by Faulkner (started it with selections in school, fell in love) and an assload of comic books.
Eventually intend to read Kristin Lavransdatter and maybe some more George Eliot.
And when summer's over I can attack philosophy again, probably with more Kierkegaard, maybe some more Nietzsche and more recent thinkers like Rorty and Quine.
Oh, and I need to read even more Faulkner. God I love this stuff.
Plasticity:
I started The Once and Future King, but I am having trouble getting into it.
Just finished Irving Welsh's Porno.
Lines:
It picks up. I really enjoyed that book, but I'm almost always a fan of Arthurian legend. La Morte D'Arthur is on my list of things to read this summer.
Uber Ritter:
By the way, King Leopold's Ghost is really, really good and rather terrifying. The amount of evil that someone can bring into the world just with greed and incompetence is pretty staggering.
