...Rodr?guez, nacido en San Antonio, TX, de ascendencia mexicana, prefiere mantenerse fuera de Hollywood y conduce Troublemaker Studios en Austin, TX. Sus sangrientas cintas, la primera fue El mariachi, y alegres fantas?as -la ?ltima es The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl en tercera dimensi?n- han ganando m?s de $565 millones. Su triunfo ha facilitado el camino para una nueva generaci?n de cineastas, tales como el chileno Nicol?s L?pez de veinte y pico de a?os, que est? causando conmoci?n en Hollywood con su pel?cula, Promedio rojo.

...digital video camera to make Tape (three friends in a motel room talk about an old date rape) and the footage he would eventually turn into animation for Waking Life. "I was back to square one. There I was with my little videotape walking around the streets of Austin with my friends," he says. "I'm sure I'll be there again. Life is cyclical...
Perhaps because he's in Austin, or because he's so mellow, or because he still looks like a postcollege mop-topped, ex-jock vegetarian from East Texas, or because other than School of Rock's $81 million box-office take, his movies don't make much money, people think of him as the official spokesman for the slacker generation.
