Film production veteran Tom Reilly has worked on the sets of critically praised films and commercial blockbusters for more than three decades?including seventeen years alongside director Woody Allen. In The Big Picture, he explores the art and the craft of filmmaking from the vantage point of someone actually running the movie set. Using examples unlike any of those in other books on film, Reilly exposes not only the power and the personalities, but the secrets of the pros. He shares the insights he gleaned while working with more than sixty Oscar-winning professionals?from Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Vanessa Redgrave to Sydney Pollack, Sven Nykvist, and Barbra Streisand.

In these fifty entertaining, illuminating short essays, Reilly invites you to join him on the film set. What is it like to shoot a love scene? How do you do a full body burn? What is it like to film in the Everglades or in a morgue? What is blocking or matching, and how long should a script be? How do you decide when to build a set? Why is the color palette so critical? Is night shooting worth the suffering?

The Big Picture delivers the surprising answers to these and other fascinating questions about what it takes to make a feature film, offering a glimpse into what it's like when the lights are bright, the camera is rolling, and the moviemakers are calling the shots.

Timely words for today’s culture
Format: Paperback
Debra Fileta's "Soul Care" is a great blend of faith-based principles and practical advice. I love how she explores the rhythms Jesus practiced to care for his soul as a framework for readers to follow. What sets Soul Care apart is her holistic approach to caring for ourselves. Debra Fileta addresses the spiritual, emotional, AND physical aspects (I love the title of chapter 7). Her tone is so easy to read, but the content is deep and thought provoking. Soul Care is helping me realize the need to establish healthier, more sustainable rhythms in my life and giving me answers for how to do that. As someone who served in ministry before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic, I’ve seen such a high burnout rate around me (and in my own life). This couldn’t be a more timely read. I want to give a copy to everyone I know!

Nice rack
I have a small bedroom and this over the door rack is great. Holds my belts, sweaters and jackets. Love the baskets for extra storage.

Hooks broke that hold coat hooks. Had one month!!!!
I really loved the idea of this, but the hooks in the bars that hold the coat hooks are very flimsy!!! I have only had one month and they broke!!! It is not made to hold ANY heavy to medium weight coats things!!! I would not recommend this unless you only hang very light weight things on hooks.
