I've read several books on working in Hollywood since moving here and this one was the most helpful because becoming a Set P. A. will probably be your first job in town. The only other job in town that an outsider usually qualifies for is working at a theater, but at least it pays. The only training course available in town to learn how to be a Set P.A. is advertised online and it's conducted by professionals working in the industry. The schedule is tight which makes it tough, but had I read this ... Read More

I'm a film and television producer, and this is the first book I've come across that explains in plain English what it's like to work in production. But, it's tells you much more than that.

Insightful without the braggadacio that festers in so many books of its genre, this is a great find for the newcomer and the production veteran alike.

If you don't have connections and want a book that will actually help you get a foot in the door, this is definitely not the one. Maybe check out Kenna McHugh's "Breaking ... Read More

The first time you set foot on a film set certain things aren't always obvious. This book sets you on the right path from the beginning. Get a jump on all the P.A's entering the pool and act like a pro from day 1.
