Of all the artisans who work in the American film industry,
directors have been given the lion's share of attention. Yet few
books in this literature address the ways directors have worked
with others and have negotiated the constraints and opportunities
posed by a complex production process and a sprawling commercial
industry. Directing fills this gap. It provides the historical
context necessary to understand the key role of directors in the
Hollywood system. It covers iconic directors like Cecil B. DeMille,
Francis Ford Coppola and Terrence Malik. It also shows how a
selection of remarkable filmmakers confronted issues encountered
during a given period; for example, how Ida Lupino negotiated 1950s
ingrained sexism and how black directors like Charles Burnett
operated in the system. It follows the working strategies of
independents like Steven Soderbergh or Tim Burton and of directors
dealing in twenty-first century digital cinema. Both readable and
detailed, the book has appeal across the study of film and film
production to the broader interest in the director's art.
