go to original August 21, 2014

Acclaimed screenwriter, director, cinematographer and musician Robert Rodriguez, became passionate about movies and filmmaking at a young age.

Raised in San Antonio, Texas, Rodriguez returns to his family's native homeland of Mexico. He says of the country, "This is a country you constantly want to be connected with because it's part of your bloodline, but this place is like a dream. Anything can really happen here."

His 1992 movie, "El Mariachi," solidified his career as a filmmaker. He revolutionized the independent filmmaking world with his ability to make the critically acclaimed film on a super-tight, shoestring budget.

Rodriquez shared his knowledge on how to make a movie with hardly any money. He said, "I even wrote a book on how to do it. A lot people follow that and it changed independent filmmaking."
