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.

Get Rebel Without a Deal now available in paperback at Amazon! Also available for the Kindle, Nook and iPad.

Drew here. I have been feeling the need to write and say how fucking great the shoot was. What a fantastic experience. It was a rewarding challenge to say the least. I can't stop thinking about it all, and how proud I was to be in the cast. Good luck with editing, boys. I hope we gave you what you need to make a kick butt film. Vince, Jay, Michael, you guys are so sexy. I mean brilliant. Thank you thank you thank you. Let's get a message board going post-coital production. Drew

Handjobs for everyone!

And InVinceable, (your new nickname after pulling this off) Are you talking days or weeks?

Michael (Michael)

Thank you cast and crew for everthing you have done. It was because of you that we could do a full feature film in 5 days. Not only were you all totally professional but also sexy. I loved working with you and hope to do it all again. Thank you.

Ryan - Thank you for the gift. Just so you know, I can not go against your own belief system.

Vince (Vince)

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 05:10 pm
Bullshit! I could've still done it. SOCK PUPPETS! It'd have been done in 1 day!!!!!

Daveed, those are hours not days or weeks!

there's still time. you could digitally insert the socks over us. Just use us as templates.

I think Drew wouldd prefer somthing in an argyle, Nicole would be a slightly torn fishnet, Nikki will have a new sock for every scene, and i should be a sweat stained gym sock.

I'm excited can't wait to see the final product. Michael thanks for everything, you were great! Thank you too Jay- someone has to make sure we're on time! Take care all of you!!!

Resa-

It was also a plesure working with you. Thanks for the cool suck up brown noseing, but I don't think I was very good. Especially to you. I was always stareing at you, tapping my feet, saying "Make 'em look pretty NOW!!!"

You are definitely welcome back for the next flick, but do you have any experience with sock puppets?

Bart

If I was to post that being involved in this film was just really, really fantastic, it would only make this section sound more like the "brown-nosing forum".

So, I won't say that you guys definitely know how to put together a great crew, and work a shoot. I won't say that it was more like you guys have been doing this for years, as opposed to it being your first feature.

I won't say that. Because I don't want this to be the "brown-nosing gush forum".

And, hey, how come I'm not listed in the "credits" section, you bastards?

Love,

Bart

Damn, you whiny little actors. Where's My Name, Where's My Name? UGH! I've been busy! I'm telling ya, SOCK PUPPETS! Next movie is SOCK PUPPETS!

OK, I took a moment and did some updating on the credit page. I did it all from memory, since I don't have the contracts in front of me. So I didn't get everything correct, but at least it's closer.

I'll get with the contract guy (Michael) and get all the credits correct soon.

Thanks Bart for not shoving your head up my ass too. It's a little full right now. ExLax!

All joking aside, Big Props to you all. You're all great and a Congrats to Keith and Jeremy who are getting Married this month as well as a Congrats to Drew Baby on his nuptials.

Well, I'm back to Masturbat...... Ummmm, I mean Work! Back to Work!

enough with the daveed shit. she wanted to toss a foreign salad so i let her.

Vince (Vince)

Resa - Yep, the lack of sex thing can really kill me. It's like Stogies to a smoker, or a needle to a Heroine addict. I get bitchy when I'm filled with extra spooge.

Very true, Sock Puppets do sit still.

Nikki - Enough of the brown nosing. I got a better idea. Lets all brown nose Nikki. Your ass is much nicer then mine, and I think my head would look great there.

Really, you'll do a movie with us ANYTIME! Did I mention our next flick in "Debbie Does the Director"??? If you liked your first female kiss, then you'll love this flick.

DaVeed - Burningman? Next Year? Did they finally breakdown and build a 5 star hotel??? If so, I'm in!

Love all you guys, especially Nikki, the footage looks great, especially Nikki, the nudity in the trailer is comming along great, especially Nikki!!!!

R

Friday, September 05, 2003 - 02:07 am
As much as i love you Nikki, I'll probably have to kill you someday. Are you all the way up to a hundred pounds now?

Please somebody beat some sense into this girl.

ryan

Friday, September 05, 2003 - 09:31 pm
Since this seems to be the clearinghouse for everything us related, I'll be doing something somewhere for my birthday, next friday night. Anybody know a cool low key place with dancing?

Vince (Vince)

Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 03:13 am
I need to dump the rest of the board and keep this topic alone, since, it seems NO ONE is capable of creating a new(d) discussion.

Awe Nikki, you may eat, but your body knows just the right spots to place it baby.

Happy B-Day Ryan! Dancing? Shouldn't you be spending the day in your B-Day suit?

Looks like a wrap party Saturday the 13th. That's what Beeber sent out anyway.

The trailer will be premiered at the wrap party!! It's looks great too. And I'm not just saying that cause I did it. Deanna thinks so too.

I was going to post a bunch of pic's and some potential poster artwork tonight, but the server won't let me in. So, maybe tommorow! Or Monday?

R

Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 12:52 pm
I was in my birthday suit. I was completely naked under all those clothes.

Frankly Patty, as far as I'm concerned, you are the movie. We only made the rest of it so we could put a frame around you. Don't tell Vince I told you.

I'll kill you, but it'll be softly, with my song.

And I'm so excited! The Drew Wicks called me! yesterday. He's so dreamy...

NWG, you are a lucky man. This shoot was filled with hot women. And their Husbands/fiances/significant others. Thank God for Ginger.

Vince (Vince)

Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 02:39 am
Hey, I talked to Ginger today, she's ditching us for a DeLahoya fight in LV. Good news though, she landed the FOX series. Commited to 13 epsoides at WB's lot.
