Summary
Contains interviews with 24 filmmakers assembled from American Film Institute seminars conducted since 1967. Guided by the attitude that filmmaking is a collaborative process, this compilation reflects a trend in recent years to go beyond the preoccupation with directors. Includes actors, cinematographers, production designers, composers, editors, agents, producers and screenwriters: from Lucille Ball to Richard Zanuck. Each interview is preceded by a brief biographical sketch and a selected filmography.
