I Killed Charles Bronson's Cat Paperback – December 1, 2000
by
Barry Gremillion
(Author)
"When a film crew ventures out into the real world to create a make-believe world for a movie or television show, sometimes these two worlds clash. Making a movie on location is a lot like military maneuvers. A battalion of personnel and equipment bivouac, light up a target area, and shoot. As the smoke clears, and the film crew marches on, casualties are often left in the wake. Just as in war, somebody has to stay behind to detoxify the area and make reparations. That was my job. I was a Location Manager in the Motion Picture Industry during the last two decades of the 20th Century."

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018
As a fellow location scout and manager, I found this an accurate portrayal of our strange world. His portrayal of mercurial directors, brutally long days, early call times and the improbable situations is all true. I’m glad it’s on the record now.
