Mamet just dropping all the knowledge.

[@exit13productions50]

Ive watched this twice all the way through. I love how open and candid he is about screenwriting and filmmaking

[@rossleeson8626]

His book changed the way I think about art and made me way more chilled as a creative.

[@sutlive22]

Exit13Productions This was wonderful. Here is another acting process instruction video pairing the process with the final theater piece. It looks at Reunion and Pony Boy. Mr. Mamet is amazing in this as well and is the actors. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLMeKamiJuljMk

​@@rossleeson8626Which book? He has so many.

[@Mooseman327]

Every writer has to see and hear this. Thanks for posting.

[@Liface]

This man knows filmmaking inside and out. What a wise God!

[@gregoryburne5251]

Cant stopped listening. Hes soooo engaging.

[@vova47]

What a brilliant man! ....

[@JamieJobb]

As Mamet knows, a live audience also helps. And the internet is not a live audience, so those "learning" filmmaking there may end up just repeating audio visual riffs they've seen on MTV. "Views" is not the same league as a live audience, reacting together as a unit. A live audience can help any performing artist figure out what works ... particularly an audience beyond friends and peers.

[@AndyGersh]

Thank you for posting. Mamet is a giant.

[@noabaak]

Pretty inspiring, I should say and it shall teach many would-be-writers and filmmakers although his style is definitely set and stuck on its own. - NYC, 10/7/2019

[@javimu111]

So GOOD!!

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

A great video. A shame it wasn't the full interview, but thanks for posting it.

[@sutlive22]

Lee Hutchings. If you haven't seen this Mr. Mamet teaches an acting(theater) class. It looks at Pony Boy and Reunion.

[@theexpresidents]

​@@sutlive22Pony Boy is a character from _The Outsiders._ I believe you're referring to "Dark Pony."

[@danielweisgerber]

Pinter..love it, I played Petey in Pinter’s. Birthday Party

[@letsif]

Not all film making styles fit Mamet's sometimes contradictions about text vs visual approaches. Even his own movies are highly crafted visual presentations of actors speaking his words. Anyway, interesting listening to this very gifted artist.

[@cosimocub]

brilliant

[@ridetube66]

Bernays, was the acknowledged father of public relations and nephew of Sigmund Freud (not son in law)

[@letsif]

Two people looking at their cellphones, bump into each other, and the next scene is they have a mortgage.

[@James_Bowie]

... or lawyers.

[@theexpresidents]

This was filmed in 2016 ?

[@user-bs1qk2ku7b]

Mamet is wrong about preproduction. It's a joy 👍🏻

[@waynedurning8717]

12 minutes in and I’m so much smarter.

[@howardkoor2796]

The real deal

[@Jyuval10]

Can someone please explain the joke with the "female lead"?

[@selfmarketing]

He means that a Producer (God) will have some starlett they are dating that they want in the project and force you to use her. So, the decision is made for you. Everything other aspect of the film you have the free will to do as you please. Just not the female lead.

[@suttree3233]

5:30

[@cornbornmike1006]

I don't agree with the no research part. You can't assume everything you read hasn't been carefully studied (i.e. climate change, the big bang theory)

[@samuraisoul151]

Mike Mecek that's more to story with evidence... drama is about someone story itself... but you got some point in it...

[@mickeyaugrec7560]

+Mergalick Mamet was saying he does not go out to speak with con-men in order to write dialogue spoken by con-men; I have not read anything of his about climate change or big bang theory.

[@frederickporter8677]

Very informative, Mamet's very talented but no research? Really.

[@rubstroll1]

Since when has Mr.Mamet been an amputee?

[@webspecific]

No. His arrogance and privilege have given him blind spots. He lost me when he was dismissive about actors, inexplicably arguing for a false hierarchy, around 6 minutes in.

[@samuraisoul151]

Christy Sanford lost to you? Please demonstrate that...

[@bingosantamonica]

Every artist thinks his medium is the most important one. You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

[@EternalIntelligence]

no one cares that you got your feelings hurt, tuts.

[@theexpresidents]

Lol, his "privilege."

[@beuller7]

Oh please. For someone with alleged “blind spots” as you say, the man’s got more insight about his craft & storytelling - which he shares freely btw - than you’ll ever hope to have about yours. And as for being dismissive of actors, I’m a working actor myself, and trust me when I say: the majority of us richly deserve dismissing.

[@spanishinquisition5508]

He's Brown, dark brown, but has African facial features...weird (who gave him an education? Who gave him a job? Why?? )

[@Liface]

OK physiognimist

[@theexpresidents]

Who gave you a phone, that's the real question.
