Robert Rodriguez (<a href="https://twitter.com/Rodriguez">@Rodriguez</a>) is a director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor, and musician. He is also the founder and chairman of <a href="https://www.elreynetwork.com/">El Rey Network</a>, a genre-busting cable network. There, he hosts one of my favorite interview-format shows, <a href="https://www.elreynetwork.com/shows/originals/the-directors-chair">The Director’s Chair</a>. While a student at the University of Texas at Austin, Robert wrote the script for his first feature film while he was a paid subject in a clinical experiment at a drug research facility. That paycheck covered the cost of shooting over two weeks. The film, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104815/">El Mariachi</a>, went on to win the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and became the lowest-budget movie ever released by a major studio. He went on to write, produce, and direct many successful films, including Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, the Spy Kids franchise, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Frank Miller’s Sin City, Machete, and others.
