Shooting to Kill by Christine Vachon
Complete with behind-the-scenes diary entries from the set of Vachon’s best-known films, Shooting to Kill offers all the satisfaction of an intimate memoir from the frontlines of independent filmmakers, from one of its most successful agent provocateurs and survivors. Hailed by the New York Times as the “godmother to the politically committed film” and by Interview as a true “auteur producer,” Christine Vachon has made her name with such bold, controversial, and commercially successful films as “Poison,” “Swoon,” Kids,” “Safe,” “I Shot Andy Warhol,” and “Velvet Goldmine.”Over the last decade, she has become a driving force behind the most daring and strikingly original independent filmmakers-from Todd Haynes to Tom Kalin and Mary Harron and helped put them on the map.
Complete with behind-the-scenes diary entries from the set of Vachon’s best-known films, Shooting to Kill offers all the satisfaction of an intimate memoir from the frontlines of independent filmmakers, from one of its most successful agent provocateurs and survivors.

In the Blink of an Eye by Walter Murch
In the Blink of an Eye is celebrated film editor Walter Murch's vivid, multifaceted, thought-provoking essay on film editing. Starting with what might be the most basic editing question - Why do cuts work? - Murch treats the reader to a wonderful ride through the aesthetics and practical concerns of cutting film. Along the way, he offers his unique insights on such subjects as continuity and discontinuity in editing, dreaming, and reality; criteria for a good cut; the blink of the eye as an emotional cue; digital editing; and much more. In this second edition, Murch reconsiders and completely revises his popular first edition's lengthy meditation on digital editing (which accounts for a third of the book's pages) in light of the technological changes that have taken place in the six years since its publication.
