If you've ever referred to actors as "The Talent" you might want to pay attention. Directing is one of the most social jobs you can have, and yet so many people who want to direct neglect their relationship with their actors. They aren't unicorns dancing around in front of the camera. They're professionals there to do a job, and it takes more than just rehearsing lines to understand how to effectively direct them. Judith Weston wrote one of the best books about this exact experience entitled "Directing Actors." This book has become almost a bible for our Host Mike Pecci as he preps his first feature. It also provides some great insight for actors like long-time guest and friend of the show Lance Williams. Take literally all of the notes as Mike, Judith, and Lance flesh out the importance of effective communication, the benefits of action verbs, and the how to direct actors.Check out Judith Weston's Website:https://judithweston.com/Here are Judith's Books:https://judithweston.com/books-judith-westonAnd here's an audible link for "Directing Actors" for those like Mike who need to listen to a book:https://www.audible.com/pd/Directing-Actors-Audiobook/1974970523?qid=1573842343&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=H0YPVV5CFZFARCZZ39EZ&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1Follow Lance Williams on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/golancego/Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessGrab a T-Shirt from www.movitees.com/ and use PROMO CODE: ILWP to get 10% off!Yell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: [email protected] Music by:betamaxxmusic.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/@orkladrive@jdog19971The Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-..._hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Custom Comfort Mattress: customcomfortmattress.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess

EP140 | VHS Horror Memories (Guest Prano Bailey-Bond)

3 Recommendations

What makes a great horror film director? Does it require that you spend every night watching hours and our of VHS tapes filled with nightmare images, terrifying monsters and blood curdling screams? Or does the art of making an audience shit themselves in fear, come from a deeper understanding of the human condition. A fascination with the dark side that everyone has -- so desperately tries to hide. Horror film directors Mike Pecci (director of 12KM & Who's There) and Prano Bailey-Bond (director of CENSOR) discuss the images that have shaped their careers, the human traits that draw them to a story, and why they chose horror film making as the art form to tell human stories.Prano's webisite: https://www.pranobaileybond.com/Watch Censor trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRrhXjH1M70Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodILWP Subreddit:www.reddit.com/r/inlovewiththeprocessYell at Spotify here to allow you to rate podcasts:community.spotify.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/newideasEmail us to see 12KM: [email protected] Music by:betamaxxmusic.bandcamp.com/www.nightrider87.bandcamp.com/www.codeelektro.com/@orkladriveThe Episode is Sponsored by:Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/inlovewiththeprocessPuget Systems Consultation: www.pugetsystems.com/landing/Puget-..._hsmi=86870814Quasar Science: www.quasarscience.com/Custom Comfort Mattress: customcomfortmattress.com/Industry Jump IG: www.instagram.com/industryjump/Industry Jump: www.industryjump.com/Support our show by signing up for a 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InLoveWithTheProcess
