This review is from: Film Production Management 101: The Ultimate Guide for Film and Television Production Management and Coordination (Michael Wiese Productions) (Paperback)

In development on a new feature film, this book has proved to be very helpful. From setting up the production checking accout, to offering a few dozen production forms, it is proving invaluable.
