I’m constantly telling neophyte writers to examine their craft through the lens of other storytelling media. And this book contains some real gems for character behavior. Actors, after all, embody the characters they portray. Judith Weston’s insights for guiding directors to better understand the actor’s process, her tips and methods, can be very useful for writers who can appreciate looking through the other end of the telescope to gain distance, as well as objectivity.

Also Great For Writers!

I understood very little about the directing process before ChatGPT recommended this book. Ask questions and connect deeply with the actors I'm working with. I can't wait to get on set to try these strategies.

Im very thankful this book exists.

As a technically and visually minded creator, this book has been unbelievably insightful into the heart, soul, and humanity of filmmaking. While this is just a first step in learning how to direct actors, after this book I feel confident enough to start making mistakes.
