5.0 out of 5 stars Efficient and Inspiring, August 26, 2009

By	Benjamin Manning "Genovo" (Tucson) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mark shows the secrets of how to inspire actors well beyond their natural instincts to create the emotional journey so the camera can capture it; and he works so efficiently!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by Mark F Armstrong, Filmmaker, June 11, 2009

By	Ken Lee (Seattle WA) - See all my reviews

A thoroughly intuitive guide on maintaining a smooth flow of communication between a screenwriter, director, cast, and a technical crew written by a Yale School of Drama graduate. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS! A MUST READ!, December 1, 2006

By	Erin Donavan (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're at all serious about directing, look no further, this is the book. Mark Travis will guide, inform, inspire you...and all done with such a light and humorous touch, as well as great enthusiasm, you can't wait to try it yourself. Really, of all the 1000's of books out there on the subject, this is the best. The information is presented so clearly, you wonder why everybody doesn't work this way. Mark Travis obviously has a deep respect for actors and writers, and how best to work with them in a collaborative spirit . He also appears to have a great wealth of knowledge from years in the business, which he openly shares. I loved this book, and often refer back to it. I'd highly recommend it, and would give it to anyone interested in directing.
