For the first time--an insider's detailed description for setting up and managing a film production company: including the prep, the shoot, and the wrap. Patz's street-smart and studio-savvy advice, gleaned from 12 years of on-hand experience, has helped create a "thoroughly researched and helpful book" (Norman Jewison, film producer and director). Lightning Print On Demand Title
Surviving Production is not exactly what it claims to be. Although it says it's a guide for managing a film production company, it's really a guide detailing the day-to-day resonsibilities of a Production Coordinator. Big difference. Based on the synopsis I thought I was buying a how-to guide for Production Managers. Production Coordinators aren't even mentioned.Despite this, I gave the book four stars because it *is* a very thorough introduction to the role of Production Coordinator. But I'd like to see the synopsis mention that, rather than selling it as something else. Production Managers and others might find it useful if they want to understand just what it is a Coordinator does, but they're not going to find much information about how to do their own jobs.
