While Robert Rodriguez<\/a> has certainly established himself as\u00a0successful and bankable filmmaker and director in Hollywood<\/strong>, he is still well-known for his upstart, DIY beginnings<\/strong>. He famously filmed his\u00a0first feature, <\/span>El Mariachi<\/span><\/i><\/a>,\u00a0for $7,000<\/strong> (and would go on to earn over $2 million<\/strong>) \u2014 an experience he documents in his book <\/span>Rebel Without a Crew<\/span><\/i><\/a> (a great read for all filmmakers). He’s even offering others this same opportunity<\/strong> by giving away $7,000 to make films<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of Rodriguez\u2019s 10 Minute Film School<\/strong>, the famous DIY director breaks down how he planned, rehearsed, improvised, and filmed the opening shootout scene<\/strong> in his 1995 classic\u00a0Desperado<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
