Testing Their Limits

Bola's new attitude is tested as she encounters more filming hurtles; the cast gets surprise visits from Robert Rodriguez when he drops by their sets to see their work.

Directors in Action

BK clashes with her director of photography as the two struggle to share a vision; Bola loses locations and her patience while trying to balance being on a reality show and being a director at the same time.

Filmmaking Isn't Easy

The filmmakers meet with Robert to get advice pertaining to their upcoming shoots, which leads BK to question if she really needs the creative help she hired, or if her first movie making experience should be braved alone.

Filming Begins

Alejandro gets creative with casting in order to fill one of his crucial roles; the filmmakers put their negotiating skills to the test as they bargain to lock in the locations.

Locking in the Last Minute Details

Five first-time filmmakers are thrust into the world of pre-production and tasked with choosing locations; an alluring location leaves one filmmaker considering rewriting his entire script.

Meet the Filmmakers

Robert Rodriguez invites five amateur filmmakers to take on the same challenge he did 25 years ago with his first film -- to write, shoot and edit a brand-new feature length film with only $7,000.
