As a key member of the staff at Stagedoor Manor for 24 years (1979-2002), I can tell you that the number of times I heard the phrase, "God, you could write a book about this place" was rivaled only by the number of lifelong relationships I found there. In "Theater Geek," Mickey has found the true heart of the place I still think of as ...             Nox3 reviews Anne Carson New Directions, 2010 Spellbinding Stunning. Carson is a poet and classicist who is truly sui generis. Her new work, Nox, is a scrapbook of pictures, drawings, stamps, scribbles, anecdotes and definitions of the words comprising Catullus' poem No. 101 ("for his brother who died in the Troad") that coalesce into a profoundly haunting, moving and surprisingly vulnerable elegy for the poet's brother. Ignore the obnoxious and ...             The Filmmaker's Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for the Digital Age1 review Plume, 2007 The Filmmakers Handbook This is the Best book I've gotten, more because I bought the Kindle Version. This book is quite thick and not that convenient to be caring it around. I can take it everywhere and not know it. Kindle is great for an iphone app             A Streetcar Named Desire117 reviews Tennessee Williams New Directions, 2004 "It's really a pretty frightful situation. You see, there's no privacy here."

Awsome resource. This book has everything you need to know about filmmaking from codecs to lighting. If you want to learn about film/video, buy this book.             The Big Book of Humorous Training Games12 reviews McGraw-Hill, 2000 Well worth the money I especially like the section on Assertiveness which teaches assertiveness without fear and the section on Working with Difficult peers in the workplace. Very appropriate and hard hitting.             The Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide: A Down & Dirty DV Production47 reviews Focal Press, 2007 Fun AND Inspirational! I've been an aspiring film maker for a long time and was beginning to wonder if I should finally give up the dream until I read the "Shut up and Shoot" documentary guide.

I've had success producing a few award ...             Sex and the City 2: The Stories. The Fashion. The Adventure.15 reviews Eric Cyphers Running Press, 2010 Great book to add to my SATC collection This book was the best of the three that have been published for the show and movies - love the detail in SJP "Carrie" outfits and all the behind the scenes. For any fan of the show or movies, a must for your collection.             Nausea96 reviews Jean-Paul Sartre New Directions, 2007 A bellyache no amount of Tums can relieve... *Nausea* is quite simply one of the major touchstones of the "literature of alienation" that so marked the 20th century--a sickness we may have survived but never really recovered from, sort of like a spiritual AIDS. Sartre's psychologically claustrophobic tale of a youngish historian overwhelmed by existence sounds all the notes of paranoia, pointlessness, disgust, and dread elevated to a ...             The Garden Primer: Second Edition24 reviews Workman Publishing Company, 2008 A must have for basic gardening This is a must have for anyone who gardens. It covers practically every gardening subject you would want to know. It is easy to read, and even entertaining. A great addition to any gardener's library.             Cinematic Storytelling: The 100 Most Powerful Film Conventions Every Filmmaker Must Know36 reviews Jennifer Van Sijll Michael Wiese Productions, 2005 Great Book, with examples from films. Lots of other good reviews on this one (some bad as well). I took a look at it and found it to be very nice. At under $20.00 it is a lot better than paying for a $150.00 (used) textbook to use in a class. The basis of the book is giving you industry terms for the types of shots, with definitions and detailed examples from films. It delivers plain and simple, very nice book and written well.             Wander Woman: How High-Achieving Women Find Contentment and Direction8 reviews Marcia Reynolds Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2010 `Wander Woman' Charts Emotional Pathways to Success, Contentment Do you ask yourself, "Can I be happy?

It is simply one of the best books ever written on the subject. The most important lesson of the book is the difficulty and commitment required from anyone who wants to become an actor.
