Darren Aronofsky's diary of the years spent making his first feature, Pi (1998), before Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Mother! and The Whale. The book reproduces his complete and long out-of-print Guerilla Diaries — journal entries chronicling the pre-production, production and release of the film — alongside hundreds of previously unseen photographs, script notes, camera tests, cinematographer sketches, internal memos, personal letters and other materials drawn from his archives, with a new introduction by the director.
