Francis Ford Coppola, 5-time Oscar winner. Director: The Godfather Trilogy, Apocalypse Now – May 16, 2016:

Howard Suber’s understanding of film storytelling fills the pages of this wise, liberating book. Much of it is surprisingly contrary to what “everyone knows.

A remarkable work.
Alexander Payne, Director: About Schmidt – May 16, 2016:

For years students in Howard Suber’s legendary classes at UCLA begged him to write a book. Now that he has delivered it, filmmakers, scholars and anyone else with a serious interest in film can rejoice. A fascinating and thought-provoking work.
David Koepp, Screenwriter: War of the Worlds, Spider-Man, Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park – May 16, 2016:

What Aristotle did for drama, Howard Suber has now done for film. This is a profound and succinct book that is miraculously fun to read.
