Rebel Without a Crew by Robert Rodriguez

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.

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?

Independent Film Maker Risks All to “Play The Game”

About a decade ago, Marc Fienberg uprooted his family from Boston and bought one-way tickets to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of making a movie about his grandfather. He developed his own film company, Story Films, specializing in short films and commercials. Then incredibly, Fienberg, a man with no feature film background or connections, was able to raise millions of dollars and convince Hollywood icon Andy Griffith to star in his film, “Play the Game.” The independent film, which Fienberg is self-distributing throughout the nation this fall, will start a limited one-week …
