Suggestions for educational film books?

Hello Stage 32 community!

Thought it would be nice to start a little thread for people to share their favourite film books to help further our education in all areas of film (screenwriting, acting, directing etc)

Here are a couple of my suggestions, but I’m eager to pick up more :)

Save the cat! Writes for TV: The Last Book on Creating Binge-Worthy Content You’ll Ever Need

- Jamie Nash

Aristotle Poetics for Screenwriters

- Michael Tierno

The Film Directors Intuition ‘Script Analysis and Rehearsal Techniques’

-Judith Weston

Have a great night!

Hi, Brittany H. Great idea! One of my favorite screenwriting books is "Turn & Burn: The Scriptwriter's Guide to Writing Better Screenplays Faster Book" by CJ Walley. https://cjwalley.com/turn-burn-screenwriting-book/

I love Sydney Lumet's MAKING MOVIES. I'm a huge fan of his films so I was engrossed with his descriptions of the process.
