The Art and Craft of TV Directing

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A terrific read! Jim mixes his encyclopaedic knowledge of film and TV with his true passion for the craft. The result is a series of illuminating interviews as valuable to the professional as they will be to the novice."

Christopher Silber, Executive Producer, NCIS: New Orleans

"Jim Hemphill digs deep into the nuts and bolts of episodic direction, and in doing so shines a light not just on the mechanics of television production, but on the craft of directing itself, in all of its wonderful and malleable forms."

David Lowery, Director, The Old Man & the Gun, Ain't Them Bodies Saints

"Author and filmmaker Jim Hemphill demonstrates a nearly encyclopedic critical appreciation of individual directors' styles and an exhaustive enthusiasm for contemporary TV... The 20 Q&As making up Jim Hemphill's The Art and Craft of TV Directing mine a rich vein of first-person creative experience from craftspeople whose jobs demand that they be articulate about process to begin with."

Bruce Bennett, Film Comment September/October 2019 issue

"If you're a moviemaker who thrives in high-energy environments, racing against the clock to beat a deadline, then TV directing might be for you. Hemphill's collection calls for a reassessment to the old adage that TV is a "writer's medium" and encourages future moviemakers to consider the lessons that can be gained from directing television."
