- Werner Herzog to teach an online filmmaking masterclass.
- And his 24 rules for filmmakers.
- In Search of the Perfect Sentence is one retired English teacher’s labor of love. I was stoked to find a book blog that focuses on style rather than content and a little bummed to see that her last post was in 2013.
- The handwritten spreadsheet that became Harry Potter.
