Directing the Story

This book grew out of desperate need. I was a storyboard artist at Disney and had no idea what I was doing. At Disney I was surrounded by amazing talents. I went into work early and typed up notes on what I was learning. This experience became Directing the Story.

Francis Glebas, recently retired, has been making stories and movies for 60 years, professionally for 51 years. He's worked his way up from painting animation cels on a night crew to directing a feature film. He's worked at most of the major studios. Currently, he teaches filmmaking skills and is writing a infographic novel about a new theory of story, from an alien perspective.
