Why read it?
1 author picked Sculpting in Time as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
So, after the first things, you need some actual instruction, and the great Russian filmmaker lays it all out here. The book is his memoir about filmmaking, but it’s really about art making, written as large or small as you can imagine. I wrote a review by request a few years ago.
Allow the tools he discusses here to free you from the oppression of lazy filmmaking, as well as your own timidity and fear. It works. Ask me how I know.
From Alan's list on help unlock your creativity.
