ALVARO RODRIGUEZ began his writing career in the sixth grade with a short story that likely would have gotten him referred for counseling and intervention in a post-Columbine America. Luckily, it was written in 1982. He is the writer of true-crime thriller LAST RAMPAGE starring Robert Patrick, Heather Graham, Bruce Davison, John Heard and Alex MacNicoll (2017) and co-writer/producer of YOU, MINE (2018), an adaptation of an Italian coming-of-age novel. He is also co-writer of Robert Rodriguez’s SHORTS (Warner Brothers, 2009) and MACHETE (Fox, 2010), and the writer of the vampire western FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE HANGMAN’S DAUGHTER (Dimension, 2000) for executive producer Quentin Tarantino. He is a University of Texas graduate, a past contributor to The Austin Chronicle, and a featured author in an upcoming anthology of Austin writers. He is repped by Magnet Management.
