Episodic directing can be hard and sometimes a thankless job but the reward of working with actors, helping create a story with others, is worth the journey. That was one of the many lessons I learned while listening to this book. Hearing Dan's stories and advice was really interesting. His long successful career expands through so many genres and as the industry changes, he adapts with it. This book lays out the fundamentals of television directing while adding plenty of on-set stories to provide the reader context. It's read by Dan himself which I also found fun to listen to. Throughout, you learn how rewarding and stressful the job can be. How political it can sometimes get. But the ultimate lesson and the glue between all of his advice is simple - always be inquisitive, always ask yourself about how a scene makes you feel and most of all - trust your intuition. His stories will give you an inside look into the process while illustrating constructive solutions on how to navigate the position and deliver the best episode you possibly can. As someone in the industry that has been on countless sets and wanting to direct myself, I found this really helpful and inspiring. Hopefully you will too. Give it a read (or a listen).
