Produktbeschreibung
In 1980, art house audience word of mouth about an unusual new movie, Return of the Secaucus Seven, launched the career of director John Sayles and with him the era of the independent filmmaker. Sayles has remained a maverick, writing, directing, editing and even acting in his own films. This fully updated revision of the author's 1998 first edition chronicles Sayles' entire career--including the story of his inauspicious beginning as a second-string actor and his work in fiction, theatre, music videos and television. A chapter is devoted to each of Sayles' feature films, offering background material on production funding, a plot sketch, an analysis of important characters, and a look at the language, setting, and politics. Each chapter also traces Sayles' technical development--his camera work, editing, musical arrangement and mise-en-scene. The book includes a complete filmography and a bibliography.

Jack Ryan is a storyteller at heart, writing to entertain, enlighten, and engage. For him, every book is a performance-designed to grip readers from the first page and carry them through a journey of thought, emotion, and discovery.

The author is a former US Marine and post-secondary educator turned novelist. He holds several advanced degrees related to the study of the humanities and has published several articles and coauthored academic anthologies. These scholarly pursuits have afforded him the opportunity to travel to more than thirteen different countries. His historical interests include World War I, the Cold War, and the counterculture of the 1960s. Ryan is currently working on a new book called Late Night with Dick due to be released in the spring of 2026. He lives with his wife and two pets in Denton, Texas.
