Let me start off by saying, you literally must read this book from cover to cover. Every little bit is fascinating. It covers Rob’s success from a literal zero to hero in the span of a few years. This book isn’t so much a book as it is a film makers diary. The introduction gives you a brief history of how he fell in love with film as a child and cast his siblings in everyone of his early films. Rebel Without a Crew also tells of his experiences at Pharmeco, a pharmaceuticals testing facility. He literally sold his body for science experiments to fund his first feature length film! if that isn’t dedication, then what is?
