"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,
Entertainment Career Counselor.
"With astonishing clarity Mark Travis
articulates the techniques and skills of film
directing. Not only does the beginning student find
invaluable guidance on all stages of the directing
process, but ht experienced director will learn
rational explanations for many of the things he may
have only been doing intuitively."
-John Badham,
director,
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER,
WAR GAMES, BLUE THUNDER
"I was immediately able to apply the
principals learned in his class when I began to
direct …",
-Jonathan Pontell,
co-executive producer/director,
ALLY McBEAL, CHICAGO HOPE, PICKET FENCES

hear as an actress, and taught me things I needed
to know to be a director."
