Many books have been written about how to write a screenplay, but there's very little information on how to read a screenplay. In this book, the first in The Filmmaker's Art series, screenwriter/director Markus Innocenti reveals how directors read, and how that reading allows them to build their vision for the film. There are clues that lie, almost unnoticed, in every screenplay. Having the ability to identify and 'decode' those clues separates directors from every other person who reads the script, and points the way to engaging and powerfully cinematic filmmaking. While Decoding The Script is an invaluable tool for directors, both emerging and established, it also allows producers, writers, actors and anyone with an interest in film to gain an insight into how directors approach their work.

The second volume of The Filmmaker's Art series highlights the principal difficulties encountered in preparing a movie for production, and reveals many areas where directors can inadvertently be set up for failure. Presenting detailed knowledge of how to read budgets, appraise schedules and breakdowns, run castings, brief cinematographers and much more... this book is an invaluable resource for any filmmaker.

With the third book in The Filmmaker's Art series, Markus Innocenti takes a deep dive into Shot Listing - an often forgotten or dismissed aspect of the Director's craft. With digital advances replacing many traditional techniques, the author argues that creating an 'old-school' Shot List may still be the smartest thing a filmmaker can do in the final days before Principal Photography begins, No other volume in The Filmmaker's Art series covers a single subject so completely, or reveals in so much detail how a director thinks and prepares.
