Think of it, to try and make movie. What a crazy idea! This popular handbook is designed to give new Production Assistants (P.A.s) an edge in the insane world of movie making. Topics include how to get your first job, the basics of lock-downs, radio communication, running talent, what to bring to a set, and driving.
Written by a P.A., this handbook is full of advice and stories from the trenches. The 3rd edition has been expanded and checked by industry professionals, P.A.s and instructors at film schools.
An excellent beginner's guide that offers helpful hints and tips. Although it fails to dive into the more technical side of being a production assistant (interpreting call sheets and so forth), this handy booklet is a must-read for people interesting in entering the TV/film industry as a PA.
