Absolutely Marvelous!
As a young filmmaker, I currently own quite a few books on the subject but none more inspiring than this. I loved his previous book 'Shot by Shot' but this is the best one.
It has taught me so much, allowing me to develop my own directing style and has prevented me from making those fateful mistakes relating to the 'line of action' and when shooting more that two people in a dialogue scene.
If you want to join the field or even if you are already part of it, I suggest you buy this book because it is brilliant.

Thank you so much!

The best book on directing out there!
Stephne Katz takes you through the ins-and-outs of film directing in a easy to use guide with hundreds of valuable illustrations.

Film Direction; from ice to tropical swimming
One of those odd books which you open; Euggh, and drop on yr desk for a month whilst figuring out what made you buy this lemon.Then you draw it nearer.Nearer.Open it at random.Hm.Bit like a beauty queen with bad breath.When you get to know her....
Recommended but you must struggle a bit to undress it.Once in,this guy knows what he is talking about.It's the sort of book read several times,each time with profit.Tops on storyboarding,"acting with a pencil" as someone describes it.
