ART OF DIRECTING: FRANK CAPRA
In the history of cinema, only the great John Ford has won more or as many Academy Awards for feature directing as Frank Capra (It’s a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and It Happened One Night)., From his early years as a gag writer and director during the wildly frenetic silent era to his beautifully choreographed cinema classics lasting until the1960s, Mr. Capra delves into his art of directing, revealing inspiring insights into his methodology of storytelling, working with actors, writers, and studio chiefs, while offering gems of information still relevant to today’s filmmakers. Directed and edited by two time Emmy winner Allan Holzman.
