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. \u003cem\u003eSpy Kids 3-D: Game Over\u003c\/em\u003e (2003) helped bring back 3-D to mainstream theatres. He is as comfortable making family films (the \u003cem\u003eSpy Kids\u003c\/em\u003e series) as action (\u003cem\u003eSin City\u003c\/em\u003e) and horror films (\u003cem\u003ePlanet Terror\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterviews with the director of \u003ci\u003eSpy Kids 3-D: Game Over, Planet Terror, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSin City\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZachary Ingle\u003c\/b\u003e is visiting assistant professor of film at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia.
