5.0 out of 5 stars A Note From The Author, June 14, 2001
By Eve Light Honthaner (Studio City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This book is for working professionals and students alike. If you're a line producer, production manager, production supervisor, assistant director or production coordinator -- the book has everything you'll need (including all the forms, contracts, releases and checklists) to set up and run a production -- from finding a production office to turning over delievery elements. Even if you know what you're doing, you will be thrilled to find everything you need in one place. If you're not already working in film production, but think you'd like to be, read the book -- and then deceide. If you choose to pursue this career path, you'll know what to expect, you'll be prepared, and you'll be ten steps ahead of everyone else just starting out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Assistant Director / Prod. Manager's Dream !!!!, January 17, 2003
By A Customer
This book is gift from heaven for any AD or UPM. I had the old edition and thought it was great. But this edition is even better! There are explanations and checklists from Preproduction to Post. The CD-ROM has both Mac and PC files which are very comprehensive and well organized. Your whole AD Kit on 1 CD!! Best of all the price is within anyone's budget. I've worked in the field for 8 years. I've already recommended this book to 2 other people. They bought it and love it.
