This thorough and candid reference describes all of the non-acting career options in today's moviemaking community, detailing the work, wages, and wheeler-dealing that come with being a producer, director, writer, production designer, agent, and every other behind-the-camera profession. The book also reveals how Levy himself arrived in Hollywood without any connections and went on to become a feature film development executive. Levy thus combines his own story with key tips, inside stories, and advice from industry leaders on succeeding in the film business—that is, not only obtaining entry-level jobs but achieving lasting careers.
