From the Publisher:

Today's most acclaimed film directors know how to captivate an audience. While the first moviegoers were awed by the mere sight of flickering, silent images, modern audiences devour details of how their favorite films were conceived, cast, staged, and shot. Movie lovers can now take the ultimate behind-the-scenes tour of contemporary cinema. The first two volumes of the acclaimed The Directors series, Take One and Take Two, by Robert J. Emery, offer in-depth interviews with twenty-six of today's top filmmakers, revealing intimate details of their most influential work and their unique approaches to their art.

From the Author:

Emery, the writer, director, and producer of the Silver-Plaque-winning Starz/Encore documentary series The Directors, explains that the books resulted from interviews taped for television. "Only about twenty-five minutes of each director's interview actually made it into the completed hour," he observes. "It occured to me that film enthusiasts should not be deprived of the opportunity to read and learn from what each of these outstanding directors had to say in his or her entire interview."
