Inspiring and Practical

Richard Bare does a tremendous job in inspiring the novice director giving him/her a down to earth look into what it takes to be a successful director. The insights and historical facts to the realities of movie making made me aware of the passion and courage many directors must have to bring their vision alive. Mr Bare is forthrite and yet encouraging in revealing the truths to what will make a great director. The book is practical and gives a step by step guide to the role the director must play in dealing with cast and crew from pre to post production. I highly recommend this book.

Very good, covers a lot of ground

This is a very good book. Bare's knowledge is from experience and is not garnished from other books. Well worth the price.
