The Book of Tim: A Journey into Zero Directing
This book is a self-contained journey into the concept of Zero Directing, anchored by a complete script titled The Abacus Crest.
The script centers on mysterious events unfolding across the United States — a dramatic account whose authorship, purpose, and origin remain unknown.
The late Professor Tim takes up the task of decoding this work — pursuing the who, why, where, and how through commentary, interviews, introspection, and fragments of investigation. The result is both a meta-script and an evolving theory: a form of storytelling that dissolves the director, amplifies the observer, and questions authorship itself.
This second edition has been reassembled and recontextualized by Aleksandar Perisic, based on the original archive on Zero Directing compiled and completed by Professor Tim Castellano himself.
