If youve got your production goals set higher than local broadcast news; than I HIGHLY recommend this book. Theres a great section on putting together your production resume; great real-world advice from Sandra her production colleagues; detailed descriptions of what every position on a Film TV set does; valuable info on how to work in various markets (Chicago; New York; LA; etc). I bought the book a few months ago and had the fortunate chance of meeting the author; and she is genuinely a wonderful woman who truly wants to help those interested in getting into succeeding in "the business".This book is also an easy quick read; I read most of the book on a flight out to LA from Chicago. "Action! Establishing your Career..." is an ESSENTIAL read if you plan on moving out to LA and you dont have many production contacts there...Im looking at you recent college grads! Ive even recommended this book to friends who are actors on their way out to the coasts so they are educated about sets; crews; etiquette; etc."Action!" is a much easier faster read than "The Independent Film Producers Survival Guide" (which is itself a great book; but more of a legal resource; basically saves you from asking your entertainment lawyer dumb questions).Im not a newbie to production and this isnt a fake review; Im a freelance Commercial Producer who is also very active in Chicago independent film; having served as producer on 4 features in the past two years; negotiated distribution deals for features; and I remain active in the scene via a Chicago based non-profit indie-sponsorship company. I find that I continue to pull "Action! Establishing your Career" off my bookshelf to use as a reference on projects.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful.
