Crafting the Scene Reviews

'Will Hong's excellent Crafting the Scene: Lessons in Storytelling from the Masters of Cinema fills a gaping hole in many curriculums. It is a rich, exhaustive exploration of the role of individual scenes from a film that touches on both how they work on their own as scenes worth studying but also how they fit into the film in a big picture kind of way.'
David Greenberg, University of the Arts
