Stephen Prime workshop on directing actors

Stephen Prime workshop on directing actors
Originally uploaded by JCriquet.

It was a few weeks ago now, but cinematographer/director Stephen Prime came in to class to show us how to workshop with actors in order to draw out their best and most convincing performances, using the techniques developed by David Mamet and William H. Macy.

An interesting way to do things. Let's hope I can use at least a bit of this knowledge in my directing this year.
