The Guide Film School Doesn't Give You.
Film school teaches you about lenses and story structure. It does not teach you walkie etiquette, set hierarchy, or the unwritten rules that every crew member is expected to already know on day one.We made the books that cover that — and we're clearing out the original edition at a price that makes sense for September.
What You Get
The Get Reelisms Book — Original Edition.
The illustrated film set survival guide. Walkie etiquette. Set hierarchy. The unwritten rules of crew culture. The lingo. The things nobody puts in a syllabus but everyone expects you to know the moment you walk onto a professional set.Kept in PA bags. Referenced between setups. Used on active shoots by crew members who've been in the industry for years.
The ABCs of Filmmaking — Original Edition
The film vocabulary book that doesn't require a film degree to understand. Illustrated, fast to reference, genuinely useful for beginners and veterans alike. Also the best possible gift for anyone with a kid who's obsessed with movies.Both books. $25. September 1–7 only.
Why Now?
September is when film students hit their first real production classes. It's when new PAs start their first jobs. It's when people who said "I want to work in film" all summer actually start doing something about it.We're clearing out the original edition this week, and we'd rather it go to people who are going to use it right now than sit in a box.The content is the same. The walkie etiquette works the same way. The hierarchy hasn't changed. The unwritten rules are still unwritten.What's different: once these are gone, that's it.
Who is it For?
Film students starting their first real production classes this fall.
New PAs who just got their first job on set and want to show up prepared.
Parents who want to give their kid something that actually helps — not a textbook, not a mug with a camera on it.
Experienced crew who want to gift it to a newcomer they believe in
FAQ
Is this good for total beginners?
That's exactly who it's for. The Get Reelisms book was made for people who are new to professional sets — to close the gap between "I want to work in film" and "I know how to show up on day one." The ABCs of Filmmaking makes film vocabulary accessible regardless of background.
Is the Original Edition different from the current edition?
The core content is the same insider knowledge from the same working crew. Minor updates were made in later printings, but everything in Edition 2 is current and accurate on a professional set today.
Is this a good back-to-school gift?
It's one of the most practical film gifts available — and at $29.99 for both books, it's priced like a textbook you'll actually open. Yes.
Why only one week?
We're clearing stock to make space for what's next. Once these copies are gone, they're not reprinted. The week deadline is real.
Customers Testimonials
Melynda Day, Crew
I definitely recommend this book. As a film student, you never really think about the jargon used on set until someone asks you for a C-47; Then you go searching for a piece of mechanical equipment and turns out it's just a damn wooden clothespin!(Nobody wants to be that guy.)They don't really offer a class on film jargon, so this book will definitely come in handy not only to help you sound like a badass in film school but on set as well.
Payten Brewer, Producer & Actor
I got to take a peek at Get Reelisms back in January, and I was immediately itching to get my hands on a copy! Between the art work and the jokes to the information it effortlessly imbues the reader with - this book is a must have! It is the perfect addition to any coffee table or artist's book shelf. I will be giving every up-and-coming filmmaker I meet this gorgeous book!
David Allan Barrera, Actor
I've been lucky enough to snag one of these books for my bookshelf. I'm a theater trained actor who has limited experience on a film set, and this book helped me feel more in touch with what is going on when I'm on set. To be honest, I wish this was given to all my fellow acting colleagues in college. It would have definitely made the film world feel a little less scary to us all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Jim Simmons
The electrical upgrade done by Luz team went very smooth. The operators were very tidy and worked like dogs the two days they were here. I know without a doubt we would recommend your company both for the ease of dealing with the company itself and in the strengths of the people you employ. We really appreciate how smoothly this process went and would love for you to pass on our appreciation to the team and the owner of the company.
