"It is rare to find a reference guide that has as its primary focus the director as creative artist and visionary. For the experienced director, The Director's Journey is an invaluable reminder of why the journey was first undertaken; for the beginning director, it is a compass that will hopefully set the course for the rewarding explorations to follow."

-Asaad Kelada, director,
WHO'S THE BOSS,
FAMILY TIES

"A comprehensive and inspired examination of craft. A must for any serious professional."

-Mark Rydell,
director,
ON GOLDEN POND,
THE ROSE,

"Writers and actors will weep with relief that this book was written. Mark Travis has written more than a practical guide; he has evolved an enlightened, egoless, and effective approach based on communication and the drive to create the most authentic, powerful work. I recommend it."

-Judith Claire,
