Publisher's noteCalling 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. AnnotationBased 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.
