Review
Now that you???ve got a couple of shorts under your belt, why not get a little more analytic? Steven Katz??'s book gives a great breakdown of the fundamentals of film directing. It??'s not something you might want to start off by reading, but once you are ready to have your films take that next step this should be number one on your to do list. Katz breaks down film language for you so that you can learn how to speak it in your own way. - www.austinfilmfestival.com
