Reviews
"Just bring your talent, add a touch of luck, and the rest you will find in this book." - Milos Forman, film director (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, The People vs. Larry Flynt) "Nick Proferes doesn't tell you how to direct, which would be as silly as telling you what to direct. Instead, he does something much more valuable: He explains how directors actually think their way though the job." James Schamus, Associate Professor of Film at Columbia University, producer and screenwriter (The Ice Storm and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) "An admirable overview of the nuts and bolts of directing,Film Directing Fundamentals takes a unique approach in discussing the craft...Full of interesting observations, this book could be a welcome addition to the aspiring director's bookshelf." - Videomaker Magazine, "Just bring your talent, add a touch of luck, and the rest you will find in this book." - Milos Forman, film director (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, The People vs. Larry Flynt) "This book makes the really complicated business of directing understandable and, more importantly, do-able." - Focus "Nick Proferes doesn't tell you how to direct'which would be as silly as telling you what to direct.

Film Directing Fundamentals is valuable not only for film directors, but also for actors and anyone interested in the creation of dramatic art." ?Andrie Serban, international theatre and opera director, and Professor at Columbia University's Theater Division "There are many books on directing, but none in my opinion have the depth and accessibility of Nick Proferes's. This treasure trove of insight and inspiration is a master class from a master teacher that clearly illuminates, step by step, the building blocks necessary to create meaningful cinematic storytelling with dramatic punch." ?Alex Zamm, director and screenwriter (Chairman of the Board, My Date with the President's Daughter), "Just bring your talent, add a touch of luck, and the rest you will find in this book." - Milos Forman, film director (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, The People vs. Larry Flynt) "This book makes the really complicated business of directing understandable and, more importantly, do-able." - Focus "Nick Proferes doesn't tell you how to direct'which would be as silly as telling you what to direct.

Proferes' Film Directing Fundamentals. Proferes is a veteran academic with hands-on experience as a professional filmmaker - a combination that is evident on every page of his book and which allows him to present theories that have obvious applications to real-world directing situations." -Jim Hemphill, American Cinematographer Magazine, "Just bring your talent, add a touch of luck, and the rest you will find in this book." - Milos Forman, film director (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, The People vs. Larry Flynt) "Nick Proferes doesn't tell you how to direct, which would be as silly as telling you what to direct.
