Jason Wood is a film programmer, documentary filmmaker and writer. Recent publications include Nick Broomfield: Documenting Icons (2005) and Contemporary Mexican Cinema (2006). His journalism has appeared in Vertigo, the Guardian and Sight and Sound.
British Writer, programmer and filmmaker Jason Wood's collection of
31 interviews with an international cast of writers and directors
is a discerning look into the minds and motivations of some of
cinema's brightest talents. Wood's Q&As, many reprinted from
various outlets, provide interesting anecdotes about the creative
process... Readers and cinephiles should be grateful that Wood
takes pains to showcase international masters along with several
filmmakers who are still waiting to be discovered - Asif Kapadia,
Samira Makhmalbaf, and Elia Sulieman for example... With luck,
another collection, updated for a new crop of filmmakers, will be
published soon.

trying to master the methodology behind achieving the most
revealing and entertaining interviews possible.
