Review

"Passion, clarity, commitment, intelligence--just what one would expect form Mamet."

Publisher's note

Calling on this unique perspective as playwright, screenwriter, and director of his own critically acclaimed movies, House Of Games and Things Change, David Mamet illuminates how a film comes to be. He looks at every aspect of directing--from script to cutting room--to show the many tasks directors undertake in reaching their prime objective: presenting a story that will be understood by the audience and has the power to be both surprising and inevitable at the same time.

Annotation

Based on a series of classes Mamet taught at Columbia University's film school, "On Directing Film" employs his unique perspective as a playwright, screenwriter, and director of his own films--"House of Games" and "Things Change"--to illuminate how a film comes to be. Mamet examines each step--from script to cutting room--through the lens of a filmmaker's prime objective: presenting a story that will be understood by the audience and has the power to be both surprising and inevitable at the same time.
