The collaboration of director and actor is the cornerstone of narrative filmmaking. This book provides the director with a concrete step-by-step guide to preparation that connects the fundamentals of film-script analysis with the actor’s process of preparation. This book starts with how to identify the overall scope of a project from the creative perspective of the director as it relates to guiding an actor, before providing a blueprint for preparation that includes script analysis, previsualization, and procedures for rehearsal and capture. This methodology allows the director to uncover the similarities and differences between actor and director in their preparation to facilitate the development of a collaborative dialogue. Featuring chapter-by-chapter exercises and assignments throughout, this book provides a method that enables the director to be present during every stage of production and seamlessly move from prep to filming, while guiding the actor to their best performances. Written in a clear and concise manner, it is ideal for students of directing, early career, and self-taught directors, as well as cinematographers, producers, or screenwriters looking to turn their hand to directing for the first time.

Directing film or television is a high-stakes occupation. It captures your full attention at every moment, calling on you to commit every resource and stretch yourself to the limit; it's the white-water rafting of entertainment jobs. But for many directors, the excitement they feel about a new project tightens into anxiety when it comes to working with actors.In the years since the original edition of Directing Actors was published, the technical side of filmmaking has become much more easily accessible. Directors tell me that dealing with actors is the last frontier--the scariest part and the part they long for--the human part, the place where connection happens.Weston's books help directors scale the heights of the actor-director dynamic, learn the joys of collaborating with actors--and become an "actor's director."

Punctilious to a fault, Sidney Lumet favored intense rehearsal, which enabled him to bring in most of his films under budget and under schedule. An energized director who captured the heart of New York like no other, he created a vast canon of work that stands as a testament to his passionate concern for justice and his great empathy for the hundreds of people with whom he collaborated during a career that spanned more than five decades. This is the first full-scale biography of a man who is generally regarded as one of the most affable directors of his time. Using the oral testimonies of those who worked with him both behind and in front of the camera, this book explores Lumet's personality and working methods.

Everyone has to start somewhere. For some film directors, their first works were nothing short of extraordinary - whether it was due to the content they were exploring, or the circumstances in which their films came about. Anne Bancroft (who starred in The Graduate 1967) and Richard Benjamin (Goodbye Columbus 1969) were actors-turned-directors. Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider 1969), also an actor, was stoned, drunk and out of control - but also one of the first successful independent directors. David Cronenberg (The Fly 1986 & A History of Violence 2005), a Canadian misfit, turned crazy behaviour into a genre. Amy Heckerling's (Clueless 1995) first creation was a "boys" movie about kids in high school. Bob Clark (Porky's 1981 & A Christmas Story 1983) made a film about a "he-playing-a-she" years before Dustin Hoffman was Tootsie (1982) and Robin Williams was Mrs Doubtfire (1993). And Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 1982) turned "what-ifs" into engaging movies, beginning with the hypothesis - what if Sigmund Freud assisted Sherlock Holmes on one of his cases? Or H.G. Wells met Jack the Ripper and a time-travel drama ensued? This book explores the context and critical opinions surrounding the first films of seven directors, who had their initial opportunity to call the shots between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Time After Time. Fatso. My Favorite Year. Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Shivers. She-Man. Easy Rider. All are unusual directorial debuts. For some, this was the start of their feature film careers. For others, like Anne Bancroft, it was their only time in the director's chair. For anyone fortunate enough to transition into directing - beware! One day your first film may turn up on Blu-Ray or as a television re-run, even if you wish the world never knew you made it.
