Christopher Riley, author of The Hollywood Standard – :
Good books on film directing are rare, specifically books which focus on staging and framing challenging sequences like action scenes and chase scenes. In this engagingly written book, with helpful illustrations from actual films, Chris Kenworthy goes a long way towards bridging this knowledge gap. Essential for beginners or those looking for a refresher before (or during) their next film.
Chad Gervich, TV writer/producer, Reality Binge; author, Small Screen, Big Picture: A Writer’s Guide to the TV Business – :
A great how-to manual for anyone who must communicate with directors. Whether a director, writer, actor, designer, or producer, Master Shots helps you think about storytelling from the camera’s perspective, making you a better filmmaker and collaborator.
John Badham, director, Saturday Night Fever, WarGames; author, I’ll Be in My Trailer – :
THIS BOOK SHOULD BE BANNED! These are the best tricks and and secret techniques of professional directors. Why should they be given away for a few dollars?
Devin Watson, producer, The Cursed – :
Master Shots gives every filmmaker out there the blow-by-blow setup required to pull off even the most difficult of setups found from indies to the big Hollywood blockbusters. It’s like getting all of the magician’s tricks in one book.
Deborah S. Patz, Executive in Charge of Production, Magician – :
Kenworthy has captured the unwritten and visual language of the moving picture in this essential reference tool. Techies, directors, and writers should read this book to practically and collectively harness this powerful language.
