Each week, Steven Benedict chooses a well known and celebrated film and steps inside its story to see how it works.
Focusing on the techniques used by directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, editors, composers, set and costume
designers, he examines how the film tells the story in a uniquely cinematic way. Benedict's podcasts are a must for
anyone who is interested in film; film buffs, filmmakers, film students and film lecturers alike.
