I've reread this book several times and find it helpful.

I just read a book I would like to recommend because I'd never heard of it and just finished reading it. I theory it's a directing book. And I would say it is one of the few directing books which really address an important issue about what directing movies is REALLY about. That said, it's written by a writer and you can't hide that much of his thoughts apply equally well to writing. "On Directing Film" by David Mammet It's an easy and interesting read. It is not as general as the required reading of Robert McKee's "Story" and not a mixture of writing and business thoughts as the important and entertaining "Adventures in the Screen Trade" by William Goldman and not technical about writing like a ton of other books. It's about telling stories in movie form and how that plays and everyone who is a writer or director should read it. It also plays directly into what this tribe is about. Not just telling stories, but telling stories in movie form.
