If you open my cell phone you’ll find a picture of Werner Herzog when he was 40 years old, directing Peruvian natives to pull his 340-ton steamboat over a mountain for his 1982 film Fitzcarraldo. When I found out that this same behemoth of renegade cinema, Werner Herzog, was opening the first ever Rogue Film School, I knew that this was the academic experience I had skipped grad school for.
