Reviews
""Every filmmaker should read this book."" - Phillip Noyce (director of Patriot Games) ""A clear step-by-step book on how and why we make films. I loved reading it. I could not put it down."" - Wayne Blair (director of The Sapphires) ""Entertaining and accessible, Film as Argument delivers a powerful message: to move an audience a narrative film must be truly convincing. By redefining the characteristics of a successful film and with fresh insights into the how and why of creative practice, this book will revolutionize your understanding of filmmaking."" - Bren Simson (author of Storytelling for Directors: From Script to Screen) ""A thorough exploration of cinematic storytelling, its purpose, and to some degree its responsibility. The book identifies narrative strategies that will undoubtedly be of value to both creative practitioners and anyone interested in the past, present, and future of feature filmmaking."" - Billy Frolick (screenwriter and film director)
