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.

Hey Bart, long time no talk. Missing you man, and Gerlin too, (I know, I misspelled it.) How's things? What are you working on these days?

Iâve been working on behind the scenes and Iâve been reminded at how great you are. You got the part and within a few hours had many of the lines down. 2 days later you had them all down. You really shined. Thanks again for that,

Insurance?
E&O insurance aka Errors and Omissions insurance. Any reputable distributor won't pickup a movie unless it's covered.

In Bruce Almighty, when people started calling Godâs phone number, it was the insurance company that got sued. That's why we are suppose to use the 555 number. I remember watching it and thinking what idiots, why didnât they use 555?

So a studio wants 2 things. They want to make sure the movie isnât going to be NC17, and they want to make sure they donât lose their ass if they get behind it. So with an E&O policy, the movie is covered and a studio doesnât have to sweat it.
