Since 1992, the Directors Guild of America has hosted an annual
symposium featuring its nominees for outstanding feature film
directing. From the first, film and television director Jeremy
Kagan has moderated these sessions in which the finest contemporary
directors weigh in on every aspect of the filmmaking process. In
Directors Close Up, Second Edition, Kagan culled the most
insightful and entertaining responses from sessions conducted
between 1992 and 2005. In Directors Close Up 2, an all-new sequel,
Kagan shines his spotlight on nominees from the 2006-2012 seminars
as they discuss their work on some of the most brilliant films of
the last several years. From script development through
pre-production to production and post-production, the directors
offer personal insights into every step of the creative process.
They also reveal their candid takes on the best and worst aspects
of their profession. Featuring materials from their
productions-including storyboards, script notes, sketches, and
on-set photos-Directors Close Up 2 will be of interest to both
professional and aspiring directors, as well as film fans who will
enjoy this inside look into making movies. The interviewed nominees
