very cool. On the part about stage directions, I have to say that Tennessee Williams (although a playwright) wrote such beautiful, detailed stage directions in his plays, which probably helped a lot of stage directors and set designers understand how the play should look onstage.

maybe it's like that for screenplays, too (for cinemateographers and directors).

Informtive to say the least. Finally a good description of the word "CRAFT." Lots of people throw it around but that explains it very concisely.

I think his use of the phrase "stage directions" definitely dates him, but I agree that the WRITING, not WRITER, is more important than DIRECTING, not DIRECTOR. But directing is more fun as it's interactive and not solitary.

The guy wrote 36 scritpts! Wow, I gots some catchin' up to do...
