Reviews

`Takoudes has written a refreshing and insightful text that dispels the myth that films are made by a single auteur and expertly showcases with clear and concise case studies that the greatest cinema of the last twenty years has been a collaborative effort. Something aspiring directors need to read.' Ted Wilkes, Lecturer in Screenwriting, Regent's University, London `Collaboration is at the heart of filmmaking. A great film is the product of the director's vision and how they execute it working with a multitude of creative and technical professionals. This book assuredly navigates both the student and the practiced filmmaker through the labyrinth of film departments. A must-read for any director who needs to collaborate with others to make their film. In other words, ALL directors must read this book!' Ron Schildknecht, Filmmaker and Professor, Spalding University, Kentucky
