Lumet’s chapter on style (Making Movies, ch 3?) is great because it’s a director wrestling with how to visualize themes. Also toss a dart at any David Bordwell essay, like this one on Die Hard or his video on editing and Bresson. www.davidbordwell.net/blog/categor... vimeo.com/52312154

We said goodbye to this guy today. His name was Albee. He made it a few days shy of 17 years old. I posted this the day we found out it was his time. We gave him a great weekend of treats, grass lawns, and chicken. He was a gift. He lived a great life. I will miss him forever. Forever.
