Directing (Screencraft)

Rating:
Summary: Skip This Book!
Review: I expected this book to be much more in-depth and interesteing. However, Goodridge (a hack for hire - freelance writing for boi rags like The Advocate) does not have the chops for this. He offers zero insight. Instead, he simply gives us slight and twee interviews of Directors. It's a lost opportunity. Skip this one.

Summary: Essential, fundamentally recommended reading
Review: Introducing the complexities of professional film directing and based on fifteen in-depth interviews with world-class movie makers, Directing by Mike Goodridge (by professional screen writer and current U.S. Editor of Screen International) is enhanced with more than 500 photographs (including stills from world famous films). Essential, fundamentally recommended reading, Directing is a welcome and invaluable contribution to personal, professional, and film school supplemental reading lists and reference collections. If you are contemplating or aspiring to directing any kind of film ranging from a simple documentary, to an "shoe string" independent film, to an elaborate big budget Hollywood production, then give Mike Goodridge's Directing a careful reading.
