Cool book! Ari Aster calls him “the most important teacher I’ve ever had.” The Zen of the Director isn’t a how-to manual — it’s a guide to directing your "self." Peter Markham shows how mindset shapes every frame, 1st idea to final cut. Profound, practical & compassionate.
If you want an auteurism book with chapters on Sidney J. Furie, John Guillermin, and John Badham (and of course you do), then I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel Kremer's new book, available at a discount directly from @stickingplacebk.bsky.social
