Book Synopsis

This accessible book is an exploration of the condition of the director from an insiderâs perspective, discussing how directors survive and thrive in the immensely challenging environment of the film and television industry.

By exploring the directorâs condition through the lens of the authorâs own lengthy and varied experience, this book provides a unique, but generally applicable, insight into the world of directing. It constitutes, not just a helpful walk-through of the various craft-skills a director must possess, but also a guide to negotiating the many pitfalls the unwary director may encounter in the industry. In addition, it explores the necessary prerequisites to excel in the field, whilst positioning itself as a very contemporary take on the subject, including such topics as directing action, working with actors in intimate and intense scenes, and the important and expanding aspect of the directorâs relationships with visual effects in film.
