Synopsis
I am the CEO of the world’s largest social media site and educational hub for film, television and theater creatives called Stage 32 (www.stage32.com). A couple of years ago, we introduced our Next Level Webinar series, essentially 90-minute live classes. I was on the hunt for top draw educators and Stephen with his passion for film and his selfless desire to teach immediately came to mind. How to Shoot a Film in 15 Days (And Survive to See Profits) was Stephen’s suggestion, one I took to instantly. I heard from numerous filmmakers, screenwriters, actors, cinematographers and other creatives who praised Stephen for giving them the strategy, framework, and course knowledge necessary to push them to go out and film their own material. Further, so impactful was the material, various film conferences and festivals came knocking asking if Stephen would have an interest in teaching it live. So Stephen took the show on the road, leaving audiences dazzled, informed and inspired. I have no doubt you’ll feel the same way reading this book. So pour yourself your favorite libation and come curl up by the fire because Stephen Mitchell can tell a story. And Stephen Mitchell has stories to tell. A more reliable narrator, you will not find.

About the Author
In 1980, Stephen founded an entertainment industry think tank labeled The New Hollywood Studio System in the guise of a repertory company for film and television. He authored the Action/ReAction technique for actors and founded a film school with curricula for writers and directors. Stephen supervised the group until 2001. In 1985, Stephen launched his cable TV series (Interview). The series, lauded by critics, attracted a cult following that included Oscar, Emmy, Peabody and Grammy winners. It attracted buyers for Stephen's story ideas and generated a first-look deal for him with TriStar Pictures. In 2001, Stephen wrote How to Start a Hollywood Career Without Having to Go There: An Instruction Manual For Actors with Kathi Carey. He was a CableAce Awards judge for nine years. He has written two novels, Ignorance is Bliss and Ray D. Shosay's Journal: Dispatches from a (junior) suite in Paris.
