And he's fortunate indeed to have such a thoughtful and insightful chronicler as Leo Biga.\u003c\/i\u003e --Kurt Andersen, Host of\u003ci\u003e Studio 360.\u003c\/i\u003e Long before Alexander Payne arrived as a world-renowned filmmaker, Leo Adam Biga spotted his talent, even screening his thesis project, \u003ci\u003e The Passion of Martin, \u003c\/i\u003e at an art cinema. By the time Payne completed \u003ci\u003eCitizen Ruth\u003c\/i\u003e and prepped\u003ci\u003e Election\u003c\/i\u003e Biga made him a special focus of his journalism. Interviewing and profiling and Payne became a highlight of the writer's work. Feeling a rapport and trust with Biga, Payne granted exclusive access to his creative process, including a week-long visit to one of his sets. Now that Payne has moved from emerging to established cinema force through a succession of critically acclaimed and popular projects-\u003ci\u003eAbout Schmidt, Sideways, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Descendants\u003c\/i\u003e-Biga has compiled his years of reporting into this book. It is the first comprehensive look anywhere at one of cinema's most important figures. Go behind-the-scenes with the author to glimpse privileged aspects of the filmmaker at work and in private moments. The book takes the measure of Payne through Biga's analysis, the filmmaker's own words, and insights from some of the writer-director's key collaborators. This must read for any casual fan or serious student of Payne provides in one volume the arc of a remarkable filmmaking journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leo Adam Biga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inside Stories LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780988329317\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inside Stories LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40500707262579,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_94d912be-a856-40e8-bcf2-6dc190bc47e7.jpg?v=1665235404","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/alexander-payne-his-journey-in-film-a-reporters-perspective-1998-2012-9780988329317","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
