Review
"Just bring your talent, add a touch of luck, and the rest you will find in this book." - Milos Forman, director (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus)
"Nick Proferes doesn't tell you how to direct--which would be as silly as telling you what to direct. Instead, he does something much more valuable: he explains how directors actually think their way through the job." - James Schamus, producer and screenwriter (The Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)
