Rebel without a Deal
or, How a 30-year-old filmmaker with $11,000 almost became a Hollywood player
Authored by Vincent Rocca
Commentaries by Kevin Smith
Rebel without a Deal chronicles how a High School dropout made Kisses and Caroms in five days for $11,000, landed and lost a multi-million dollar deal with National Lampoon, later releaseing the movie through Warner Bros. where it went on to gross over one million dollars.
Everything is covered from film school to the idea, writing it and financing it, the entire shoot, 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.
New York Times-bestselling author and award winning screenwriter and director, Kevin Smith lends his take on Vince's Journey and relates his experience with Clerks.
