RECOMMENDED BOOK OF THE MONTH

“ Friendly Enemies, Maximizing the Director-Actor Relationship”  By Delia Salvi

The best –kept secret in the entertainment industry is how much actors distrust directors and how most directors in turn fear actors.  This book will help the independent producer understand this ego centered relationship  between the director and the actor and provide them with a deeper understanding of what it takes to get the performances on screen.  …indieproducing.com

Here are some comments about the book:

This book hits all the bases in its comprehensive, definitive approach on the director/actor relationship.  The book is a necessity for all Theater/Film students and professionals….Lyle Kessler  (author of Orphans)

Bravo, in my 40 odd years of directing theater and film, I’ve never read a more insightful and brilliant examination of the warfare that so often happens between the director and actor…Joseph Sargent (award winning director)
