Sometimes it can be really hard to talk to my friends and family who aren't in the industry about what I do since we use so much jargon, but I can throw Get Reelisms at them and in an afternoon they've got the lingo down. I would get this for anybody interested in either going into film or being able to talk about film like they are in it already.

This book makes you want to turn the page!

My 12-year-old daughter has been working on films for several years and loves it so much that she wants to become a director when she’s older. This book has been great because it gives all the ins and outs of being on a film set and is super fun to read. I even love looking through it and learning about everything. I sit on many sets and have no idea what’s going on… And the book makes it easy to learn and the pictures make it much more understandable.
