Abstract
ABSTRACT:This photo essay traces Robert Rodriguez’s career as a filmmaker and teacher from the time he was a film student at the University of Texas to the present. It examines a little-known aspect of the director’s career—his role as filmmaking teacher. I argue that from his first feature, El Mariachi (1992), to a recent thriller, Red 11 (2019), he has used his films as a means of teaching his low-budget, no-frills “Mariachi style” filmmaking method to beginning moviemakers.
