Subscribe FreeEl Mariachi is an impressive debut by amateur director Robert Rodriguez. Created with a small $7,000 budget (plus post-production and marketing), a borrowed camera and cast of talented unknowns, El Mariachi is an inspiration for film students and enthusiasts alike. Set in a small Mexican village, the film depicts a wandering, mild-mannered traveling guitarist (Carlos Gallardo) in search of a gig, who winds up being mistaken for a vicious hit man in the midst of a gang war. To defend himself, the mariachi must trade in his guitar for a gun.
