There's more to know about making a movie than reading about how to write a script or be a brilliant Director. If you want to truly do this for a living, then you have to learn how to build a viable, sustainable, paying career too.??

The more you know about how movies are actually made, the better chance you'll have to create a career making movies.

Most resources out there only tell you how to make a movie. Every other book out there merely define the jobs or feeds your dreams by pretending to tell you how to make a movie step-by-step. Written by an actual on-set professional with real information from dozens of other actual working professionals, What I Really Want to Do: On Set in Hollywood (what you really need to know before getting a real job!) tells you how movies are made and what having a real career on set is really like.

It's not about how to make a movie....it's about how movies are made.

What I Really Want to Do: On Set in Hollywood (what you really need to know before getting a real job!) is the first book to ever offer realistic insight into the distinct roles of the many people who make films happen. A typical set has approximately 100 people working every day. What are they all doing? Can anybody get one of those jobs? Do they really like what they?re doing? Will I like doing it?

Providing engaging answers to these questions and more,?What I Really Want to Do untangles the various departments, the jobs within the departments, and how they all interact with one another on a shot-by-shot basis. By reading about a typical day-in-the-life of each crew position, you are offered a candid understanding of the industry? and what your own life will be like when you work in it. It's like having an internship without ever having to leave home!
