This review is from: Careers for Film Buffs & Other Hollywood Types (Vgm Careers for You Series (Paper)) (Paperback)
When I first read the book, I was in my last year of college and didn't know which directions to head towards the career I wanted in film. I found many books, but this one definitely stood out form the others. It gave me a list of every career opportunity in the film business and how to get started. I am now working my way up the ladder to a successful career. I highly recommend this to every one that expects to achieve their goals in film.

This book is a wonderful guide to all the different jobs there are on a film set. When I moved out to LA to get work in the movies, I didn't know where to start. I picked up a lot of books and this one was the best. It is concise, easy to read and has every job you can think of, as well as how to go about getting it. Highly recommended!!!

This review is from: Careers for Film Buffs & Other Hollywood Types (Paperback)
When you're looking for a way into what you know will be a competitive career, it's good to know there's so many options available. With this book, I was able to line up my background to find the right point of entry. Additionally, it really helped with learning all the jargon of the film industry. It gives you a real insiders feel. The writing breezes along with humor, insight and lots of practical advice. I'm always buying copies for my friends and I go back to it often just to refresh.
