Wish List

To make a  documentary examining the needs of practitioners of film and TV seems to be a good idea.
It may answer some of my questions.
It might even be useful.
To interview directors, producers, casting agents and crew to find out what they require of the actor on set must shed light on how to teach the craft. As well, to talk about teaching screen with teachers who have been practitioners .

At present, this is my wish list-

Tony Knight                   Teacher              NIDA
George Whaley           Actor/ Director/ Teacher

Some of the above I have already approached and have been good enough to agree to be interviewed.

As well, I am setting about finding what may exist already in the area, starting with Paul Thompson's "Lessons in Visual Language" a series of documentaries made around 1979. http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/6282818
