#21 Edward Zwick: Director, Writer, Producer

Welcome to episode #21 of The Filmmaker's Playbook, hosted by writer-director Jason Branagan.

On today’s show I talk to Academy-award and Emmy-award winning director, writer and producer, Edward Zwick. Ed’s credits include Glory, Legends of the Fall, The Siege, Courage Under Fire, Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, amongst many others.

In our conversation we discuss Ed’s must-read book, Hits, Flops and Other Illusions. We cover a wide array of topics including how he approaches writing, the notes process, how he facilitates his rehearsals to deliver award-winning performances, how he works with his composers and much, much more.
