amazing - overwhelming

There is an overwhelming amount of information in this audiobook whicb can seem a little daunting at times to listen to at a strech.

I Dipped in and out of it across about 2 months and I was able to really use it as a daily dose of Direction education and it has been lovely.

recommend to anybody interested in directing whether it be for film or for stage.

The title is very accurate

I very much enjoyed the book and it gave me a great deal of new knowledge even though I currently study in film school. My only negative was that some of the practices presented in the book don't really happen in my country but that's not the fault of the book that's mainly for an american film maker. If you want a great book about directing actors, listen to Judith Weston!

This book is a must

I am a unexpected actor, and this book though me so much, but I think even for unexperienced director and anchors this book will be in help.
