Excerpt from this gift or shelf centerpiece:
"Stories shape our world, teach us how to love others.
Made by risk-taker sisters and dream-maker brothers.
Their impact far reaching, from sea to shining sea.
Moments memorable, meaningful, or sometimes silly.
Whether full length, a series, commercials, or shorts.
We sob through their pain, laugh at their retorts.
We are moved beyond measure, perhaps WE even grow?
How do they do it?! Would you like to know?"

BEHIND THE SCREENS of Hollywood,
Are thousands of jobs, some misunderstood.
Perfect for budding or seasoned directors
who crave insights and powerful lectures.
This excerpt digs into camera and writing,
Addressing the edit, what makes it exciting:
"WRITERS are first to pen the screenplay
They determine which characters turn out okay
They craft our main character's growth and what's sought
The twists and the turns, the arc of the plot
They choose point-of-view, whose story to tell
With world-building, conflicts, back-story as well
Untethered imagination's where story begins
Reflecting life's hardships or inspiring wins
DIRECTORS translate the play's journey to screen
Take charge, make decisions: what's heard and what's seen
Dictating their vision the team will enact
Arranging how film ele-ments interact
CINEMATOGRAPHER is a big fancy title
Their camera assistants are rar-ely idle
Dozens of moving parts, focus and lenses
Directing the audience attention and senses
The EDITOR team cuts down and sands smooth
Honing the tone and tightening mood
This delicate skill stirs up the whole mixture
Piecing together a 'premiere ready' picture"
That's the end of the excerpt, order one for a friend,
They'll be happy you did, your taste they'll commend!
