Action!
Establishing Your Career in Film and Television Production
Author: Sandra Gordon
A life in the movies has been an American dream for a century. Many people dream of becoming Hollywood professionals and end up frustrated. Wouldn't it be great if someone who knew what to do, someone who had achieved acclaim in the field, would walk us through the steps to success? At last, here is a book by a seasoned movie and television professional, Emmy winner Sandra Gordon, that is filled with practical, yet highly effective ways to build a career in entertainment. Gordon calls upon her own experience working on the television series PARTY OF FIVE, the movie RUDY and many more.
There are many books that teach job-seekers how to write resumes or ace interviews, but not many books like ACTION! Uniquely designed for individuals who are interested in a career in the entertainment industry, whether they are recent college graduates or middle-aged career changers, ACTION! takes the formula out of the job-hunting book to the next step, telling its readers not only how to write their resumes, but where to send them, how to keep their jobs once they are hired, and how to advance in their career.
Table Of Contents & Foreword
“Action! fills an obvious gap on the show business shelf. Remarkably
thorough and thoughtful, it demystifies the world of production…If you
don't have a friend in the business, you will once you’ve read this highly
insightful book.”
--Jeff Melvoin, Executive Producer, “Picket Fences”, “Early Edition”, “Alias”
“A great tool for all aspiring filmmakers”
--Paul Marks, Producer, Party of Five, The Shield
“I've just finished reading your book and have to say thank you - it has a
lot of things I didn't know, and I'm glad that after reading it I have not
been discouraged but, on the contrary, am now more than ever
interested in working in the movie industry. As you said, I'll keep it short
and to the point, as in a thank-you letter. Thanks again!”
-- Dmitry Kichenko. (via www.sandrasite.com)
