Inspiring Indie Classic!

Under discussion:

El Mariachi  (1993)

If you want to see an extraordinarily amzing Low-Budget feature, then watch this! This is my favourite Indie film. It's even better than Clerks (sorry Kevin). It's interesting how Robert Rodriguez made it. He got a 16mm movie camera (an Arriflex I believe) and shot the film in Mexico. After each shot, he recorded the sound on a portable cassette recorder. When he edited it, he transferred the film to video. If his sound went out of sync, he would insert another sound, a static or a close-up or reaction shot. He tried to sell the final cut to the Spanish Video Market, but they didn't want it. However, an executive from Columbia Pictures wished to buy the film. The film also won Sundance Film Festival in 1993. That's how it's interesting and inspiring.
