The key to making a great movie lies, more often than not, in the ineffable relationship between actor and director. Yet, this is something rarely spoken of and never taught, aside from a few homely tips and warnings to the ingenue. Even those privileged to be on-set during a shoot will find it difficult to fathom as, in movies, unlike theatre rehearsals, directions are customarily given in quiet asides to individual actors, often in a semi-private language of word and gesture. This 500 page work, PRESENCE/PERFORMANCE, by Roger Tucker, is the most comprehensive and revealing study of the creative collaboration between actor and director yet made. For all those who dream of making movies, o being the director, the star, or both, this is the definitive work.
Roger Tucker is an award-winning director with over 40 years experience in directing actors for the screen. Credits can be found on The Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com).
