“THINGS I’VE LEARNED AS A MOVIEMAKER” BY BRET EASTON ELLIS
“A helpful blend of insight and common sense based on his
experience. I’ll bet actors like being in his films (partly for
the well-written roles, partly for how well he gets what they
are going through and what they need). Likely his crew does
too, from the HoDs to the basic crew members. I somewhat
differ on his take that style and execution are more impor-
tant than story. I think it’s a combination of the two; a bal-
ance is needed. All in all, some good tips and savvy observa-
tions for writers and directors.”
