My Take
Robert Rodriguez is the kind of filmmaker I root for instinctively. A San Antonio kid who shoots, edits, scores, and supervises his own effects, he turned scrappy resourcefulness into an entire ethos, famously building a feature on a shoestring. The Golden Bear on his shelf proves he can compete with anyone, yet he keeps planting his flag in Texas and Mexico rather than chasing the Hollywood machine. I admire artists who build their own castle and shoot on their own terms, and that's exactly what he's done. There's something joyful about a towering, multi-hyphenate craftsman who simply refuses to wait for permission.
