The Filmmaker's Gps
THE DEFINITIVE COMPASS FOR FILMMAKERS, SERIES CREATORS, AND DIRECTORS OF VISUAL WORLDS
What if the success of your next story didn’t depend on the budget, but on a map? What if there were a compass that told you exactly what to do in every scene, every shot, every decision behind the camera? That map exists. It’s called THE FILMMAKER’S GPS, and it’s in your hands. Abraham Pulido — sociologist, filmmaker, director and writer, with over 80 television episodes directed and nominated for the 2025 Amazon Storyteller Award — distills decades of real experience on film sets into 140 principles that work as a toolbox for excellence in storytelling and directing. Here you won’t find empty theory. You’ll find craft secrets: how to build unforgettable characters, how to direct actors, how to think visually, how to move the audience, and how to carry a story with power and impact from start to finish. THE FILMMAKER’S GPS is for you if: you direct film, series, or audiovisual content and want to level up; you write stories and want them to leave a mark; you want to learn from someone who already walked the path, mistake by mistake, success by success. The mentor every director would have wanted at the start. Read it. Apply it. Direct like the greats.
