Recommended STAT!.......2006-11-17
Wow this book is a must have and one of your top priority of books and resources to buy if you want to become a Hollywood Assistant. The authors doesn't sugarcoat anything. They strip down the job as a Hollywood Assistant to the raw naked view. It has a bit of humor in it but all of it is true.
As soon as I got this book I could not put it down and time went by so fast!
If you are serious about becoming a Celebrity Personal Assistant, whether for a star, producer, director, agent, or studio executive, you must buy this book to know what to expect!
They also include phrases to say, how to not lie but not tell the truth, what the phrases mean in Hollywood, and so much more!
Required reading for Hollywood-bes: keep it close!.......2004-08-22
This is a fast read, and it reads like a memoir-humor book-- don't be fooled. It's full of REAL information, and good advice.
I have only a limited experience in this world, a few month's as a producer's assistant, but everything they described is 100% accurate. As I investigate how I want to continue, I'm finding the descriptions of the different roles invaluable (particularly that of assistant to a network exec as a great job for those in the witness protection program; i.e. you'll never meet anyone... lol)
the way these two got into the industry is, as is the norm, highly idiosyncratic, full of luck, timing and chutzpah. It's no surprise that both have done well along the way.
This is also a useful book for creative artists-- screenwriters, actors, aspiritng directors-- because it gives an invaluable inside look at the day-to-day life of the offices and staff of the people they need to deal with.
Better than I hoped it would be!
A Career you want to leave as soon as possible.......2003-08-02
I enjoy reading about the industry. This book is a cross between a "how-to" book and a book filled with industry anecdotes. This book gives great advice on how to perform in your job working for an egomaniac (they almost all are) and why you want to get out of that job as soon as possible. But it also provides quite a few hilarious stories that will have the normal office worker scratching their heads at the audacity of some of these bosses. Working in investment banking I've seen my share of egomaniacs but Hollywood is the place to be if you want to reach for the stars or meet some real asses. This book gives a good overview on what you can expect.
Since I'm not interested in an assistant's job, I was looking more for stories of the industry. This book satisfied that desire but with some down time as it educated the potential assistant. Overall, I'm pleased with the read but if you want to know about the industry and the abuse of new hires, I recommend the recent book, " The Mailroom: Hollywood History from the Bottom Up."
Superb, insightful, bitterly funny........2003-07-25
This is the "Crafty Screenwriting" of assistanting. The writers have clearly been around the block and through the mill, and tell it like it is. They also had fun writing it, and the bitter joy of (I hope for their sakes) no longer being an assistant shines through. If you're thinking of going to Hollywood as anything at all, you need to read this book to understand what the lives of the 50% of people there who are assistants are like!
Humiliation is just the beginning!.......2002-12-01
This book really made me glad I never pursued a career in Hollywood. It is full of reality-based humor. Everybody is so phony! However, if you have the stomach for it (Hollywood) -- this is the book to prepare you for the insanity. READ IT BEFORE YOU HOP ON THE BUS.

Good resource for Writers.......2006-11-19
You wouldn't know this book is a great marketing book and writers should read this one. The book focuses on the film industry but there is a wealth of information in here about marketing yourself that writers can benefit from. There are some great excercises you can use to start defining yourself and begin your publicity. Whether it is for your book, screenplay or yourself.
Excellent read.......2006-06-16
I just received this book today, and cannot put it down. Honthaner writes with such ease, it's almost as if she's sitting there discussing the entertainment industry with you. As a recent graduate and an intense drive to make it in Hollywood, this book suits all of my needs in seriously knowing the ins-and-outs of the business. I would definitely reccomend Hollywood Drive to anyone with a similar passion to want to know all and be in the mix of the entertainment industry.
Film School in a Book.......2005-11-08
I attended author Eve Honthaner's class at USC in 2004. Titled "Breaking In, Hanging In and Making It," the class gave me all the skills and tools necessary to make it into the film industry in Hollywood. Her encouragement and burning desire to help people succeed in following their dreams translates well from the classroom to the page. For those who don't have 6 weeks and $2,000 to spend on her enlightening course at USC, this book is a real bargain. If you are serious about pursuing a career in Hollywood, "Hollywood Drive" will teach you the importance of networking and all the other skills necessary to get your foot in the door. Using the tried and true methods of Eve Honthaner, I got my first job in Hollywood with Fox -- and many more to follow. I now recommend this book to everyone who dreams of Hollywood and has the courage to pursue that dream.
Ms. Honthaner's book is a must read!.......2005-09-20
As a fulltime industry professional for over seven years in Los Angeles, I can highly recommend Ms. Honthaner's book. If you are moving to Los Angeles or are a resident but want to "up your game", this book is for you. Additionally, it should be a required text book for ALL university level film departments.
A real and honest book about the Biz.......2005-09-14
For anyone who's serious about a career in the entertainment business, this book is a must. It's real. It's honest. I just wish I had it when I moved to Los Angeles a decade ago. It would have helped save me from making a lot of bad, naive decisions. Whatever you do make sure you read this book cover to cover.
Average customer rating:
- Helps explain all those exotic filmworld terms like best boy, gaffer, and grip
- Quick!!
- Great for anyone interested in movies
- The Most helpful book I have ever read
- An awesome reference and fun to read.

Helps explain all those exotic filmworld terms like best boy, gaffer, and grip.......2005-07-20
This book was fun to read. Written in an upbeat fashion primarily for young people contemplating working in the movie industry in production-related jobs, the book describes these jobs in a direct and breezy way, taking care to define the terms I noted in the title of this review (and many others). So the book also can be interesting to anyone who has a general interest in movies, movie making, and the movie business.
I was especially impressed about the job descriptions in the "special effects" area because the techniques themselves are also described, adding to my knowledge of them.
Quick!!.......2004-11-26
This book was started and finished in one day. A very easy read full of good information on a lot of film career types. I was disappointed in the book, however, because I was hoping (as per the review) for a basic pay scale on each job, but only a couple even mentioned it. It was slightly upsetting, but was an okay worth while read.
Great for anyone interested in movies.......2004-02-21
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.
The Most helpful book I have ever read.......2001-01-16
This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn about all the jobs that are found on a film set. It gave me more options and helped me find what job is right for me. It helped me realize that you can start small and end big, and I recomend it to everyone.
An awesome reference and fun to read........1999-10-29
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.

The Real Deal About Working Behind The Scenes in Hollywood.......2002-08-13
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. By the time you finish reading this book, you'll have a complete understanding of how movies get made and the people who make it happen. You'll learn the "lingo" of the industry and the chain of command on a set. The author takes you step by step - explaining what the jobs are and how you can get one. Even if you don't want to work in production, you'll find it entertaining and informative. I have been using this book as a teaching tool in my production assistant workshops for the past few years. It has helped many of my students find work in the industry. If you want to work in this business, this is a must-read. What I liked most about the book is that it isn't the glamourized version of what it''s like to work behind the scenes, it's the real deal. In terms that anyone can understand. April Fitzsimmons has been there, done that and now written the book about it. Some of the fascinating parts include short personal stories from various people, about their experiences in the industry - the good, the bad and the ugly.
I recommend to my students that they buy this book and keep it with them at all times, as a reference and as a reminder to never give up. I only wish this book was around when I first started working in production. My struggle wouldn't have been so difficult.
An invaluable companion in Tinseltown.......2002-07-09
This book is a Godsend. I have put the amazingly lucid and learned advice to work in my own jobs on film sets, and now my brother is finding it equally enlightening as he tests the waters of filmmaking. I will continue to recommend this book to anyone who wants to work in film or simply understand what happens on the set. 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.
Misleading title- Useless unless you already have the job........2002-05-11
This book should be called "How Not to Get Fired From Your First PA Job." There is a good amount of detail about what a production assistant position is, but April Fitzsimmons' book does not even begin to cover what you need to do to GET the job in the first place (and I suspect that's what most people are really looking for).
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 into Film: Making Your Career Search a Blockbuster." That book covers networking, different PA organizations, effective resume writing, and so on. Breaking and Entering provides none of this.
It isn't always obvious.......2001-10-25
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.
This is a great book for any new comer to film........1999-10-14
Of all the books I have seen on how to start at the bottom & learn the basic ropes of being a great PA. This is the book. If you want to impress producers & move up quick, read this book & implement what it says

guidebook for makeup artists to step in the industry.......2007-05-26
touches all basics of makeup. serves as a guideline for beginner to medium level artists. it gives you a general idea of how each step/aspect of makeup work should be done. but if you want to go deeper into any of those areas, you need more specific books. also, it's more a film/tv makeup book, than a fashion/glamour makeup book. I rated it 4 stars, not because it's not good enough, but because it does not cater to my need.
Right up there next to Corson.......2004-12-07
This book saves you the classroom costs by going step by step in every procedure you should know and also has helpful assignments to do at home. Not to mention that it's cheaper than a Corson book and just as valuable.
Thanks DC "Ohio Make-up Artist".......2004-11-11
That review was really helpful. For the past couple of weeks I have been debating back and forth about whether or not I should take the $2,000 basic make-up class or just buy a book and teach myself. Your review helped with my decision. I'm going to buy the book. Hopefully I will be equally as pleased as you are.
BTW, I had to rate the item in order to write the review. Please disregard it. I'll be back with the real rating once I actually read the book. LOL.
This is THE book.......2004-11-03
If you have a desire to learn makeup techniques beyond making someone beautiful (which is included too) then this is the book for you. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, and the illustrations show you what the finished product should look like. I spent $2K for two classes in basic makeup and advanced makeup techiniques, all of which I could've learned from this book. Can't praise it highly enough!
Brilliant!.......2004-04-16
This book is very useful and interesting, it will keep u occupied for hours! It shows step by step methods for applying make-up. It's every make-artist or somebody who is into make-up's dream!

Customer Reviews:
I recommend it.......2007-07-05
I bought this book for my cousin who wants to start out in the movie business. I bought this book for him so he can get a good idea who's who in the industry. The resources are a little out dated, but the valuable info is timeless.
Buy this Book.......2007-06-11
If you are serious about a career in the entertainment industry, this book is more valuable than a college education. I can honestly say that this book gives you all of the advice you need to be successful in almost any given field. More importantly it doesn't sugarcoat anything. If this business isn't right for you, you'll know by about 40 pages in. My one complaint, and it is a small one, is that some of the information is a little dated. Specifically the sections on CGI and the internet. As far as the rest of the fields go, the information still applies today. Buy this book. Read it cover to cover. Do what the author says, and you will have a career in Hollywood. I cannot recommend this enough.
Read it and loved it.......2005-12-29
Linda Buzzell gives an excellent account of how to make it in Hollywood. Any person reading this book can learn a lot if they choose to follow their dreams into moviemaking and acting. This book definitely was helpful in getting my last movie, The S.I.N., distributed. And, it will be helpful as I put together my new radio show, The Indie Film Hour, on World Talk Radio. Thanks Linda. www.vdefilms.com
More than just Hollywood.......2005-07-20
This book was required reading for an exploratory class I was taking on Entertainment Technology Careers. It proved to teach me a lot more than just that, it gives you insightful and helpful tips as well as the exercises within the chapters that assist you in finding out what it is that you really want to do and where your motivation comes from. I think it is an invaluable book for not only people seeking work in the entrainment field but for people who aren't really sure which way to go about it or which end they'd like to be in.
Great Advice for Any Market!.......2000-01-30
A great book for anyone in the entertainment industry, not just the film industry; covers in depth topics such as how to network and how to handle rejection, and how many attempts one can expect to make before securing a position in the industry. Also great advice on entertainment resume writing; I'm already looking forward to the next edition!
Customer Reviews:
The best book ever!.......2007-01-10
One of my teachers at my film school showed us this book a few years ago and i had been looking for it everywhere! When i found it, I jumped at the chance to get it and have not left it alone since I got it a few months ago! I love it! It really helps you understand the jobs in the industry and really helped me choose the direction i want to go with my Career after school! I really recommend this book!!!!!!

From Reel to Deal: Everything You Need to Create a Successful Independent Film
ASIN: 1581152434 |
Book Description
In this candid guide, entertainment industry veteran Laurie Scheer offers a witty and informative inside look at the primary professions in the movie biz. Readers will discover real-life, yet upbeat portraits of the "shredder" jobs of the industry, such as assistant or d-girl, and how they can lead to the "keeper" jobs of actor, agent, or studio executive. Each career overview features a clever analysis of the classic film characters who memorably played these jobs on screen; an insightful rewards-risks assessment of the job; and a brief look at such essential job qualities as durability, length of stay, "food chain value," and desirability factor. Part how-to guide, part historical document, and part social commentary, this book will delight career seekers, Hollywood insiders, and film aficionados alike!

The Must-Have Book In The Biz!.......2003-02-19
I recently stumbled upon a book I could not put down. I'm not want to read how to books, but a friend suggested I pick up a smart, little book that concentrates on the professional side of Hollywood. The book is Laurie Scheer's Creative Careers in Hollywood. Creative isn't just the word- artistic is another!
I have been stretching Laurie Scheer's book out, page by page, because I didn't want it to end. The writing is so good, and the text so interesting, I wonder if Ms. Scheer will be inclined to write another book and if a Part II will be in her future- hope so! Besides being extremely informative and helpful for all youngbloods entering Hollywood, the book is a fresh study in cinema and gives a great, first hand look at some of the greatest American films of our times. Her added synopsis and additional history to some very mainstream and very forgotton American films, makes the Hollywood seem like an old town, any old entertaining town that is.
Ms. Scheer evidently knows her cinema history. She writes a fun, hip, guide to making it in the business and has a unique and clever approach. I adored her lingo...I can't wait to read more! When you are finished reading it you will feel like you just sat down with Steven Speilberg and he explained everything you need to know, to make it in hollywood. Bravo Laurie Scheer, what a great book!
Buy it! Read it! Dream it!
A Book For Movie Lovers.......2002-12-31
A witty survey of the feature film industry - from intern to studio chairwoman, Ms. Sheer provides a unique perspective on the accessibility and desirability of each major stepping-stone in the Hollywood food chain for both artistic and business types alike. Though clearly written for students of media culture and those who are considering a career in the film industry, this book has an 'insider' flavor and conversational tone that allow it to be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates movies.
CREATIVE CAREERS IN HOLLYWOOD by Laurie Scheer.......2002-09-20
Not only does this book give you a great idea of what's out there, but it's a wonderfully fun read, and gives the insider scoop better than other industry-type books that you'll find out there. The author compares the different jobs to movies that we know and love, making this completely accessible, and completely entertaining and accurate. A definite read for anyone interested in a creative career in Hollywood (hey, that would make a catchy title ...)
Book Description

Assistant Cameraman . . . Assistant Director . . . Costume Designer . . . Director of Photography . . . Film Editor . . . Gaffer . . . Music Mixer . . . Production Assistant . . . Stage Manager . . .
