Rebel Without a Deal: Or, How a 30-year-old Filmmaker with $11,000 Almost Became a Hollywood Player

Rebel without a Deal chronicles how a High School dropout made his first movie in five days for $11,000 and got it distributed through Warner Bros. where it went on to gross over a million dollars.
Everything is covered from film school to distribution including writing, financing, shooting, postproduction, film festivals, meeting Kevin Smith and suicidal depression. No subject is taboo. This is a real account of no-budget filmmaking, down to profit and loss statements.
Rebel without a Deal also contains conversations with New York Times-bestselling author and award winning screenwriter and director, Kevin Smith as he relates his experience with Clerks and Red State.
