Reviews

Reviews for Judith Weston's best selling book, Directing Actors "Judith opened a door for me to an aspect of that creative process about which I had never really been aware - acting." Rod Judkins, Academy Award for Production Sound Mixing, Jurassic Park "I've been recommending Judith to everyone I know. She manages to awaken one to one's own deepest resources. I know a great teacher when I find one!." Polly Platt, Producer, Broadcast News, Terms of Endearment "Weston takes us below the surface of the script to see how master shots can be shaped and blocked; she shows how actors become engaged in the emotional events of the script (assuming the writer has put the emotion there in the first place). There is also a fascinating discussion of the fact that for actors the emotional territory is primarily subconscious. If you want more subtext in the scriptes you write, produce or direct, Weston's book may well help." ScriptWriter Magazine
