Klenner, an actor, director, producer, university lecturer, and directing consultant based in Australia, teaches aspiring directors how to prepare and work with actors. He emphasizes creating engaging screen performances through character and understanding the theories, concepts, and practices of directing performances. He explains how to analyze a script, brief the casting director, rehearse actors, decide on visual treatment that infers subtext, direct onset, and finesse the character in the edit. He discusses the role of the director as genius, storyteller, leader, and storyworld creator; the actor-director collaboration process, including theatre vs. screen acting and the Stanislavski System; pre-production; production; and post-production. Interviews with Todd Solondz, Sam Neill, Miranda Harcourt, Cate Shortland, and Mark Warner are included. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
