Hollywood 101 : The Film Industry

Rating:
Summary: Hollywood 101
Review: As a film professional and teacher I was extremely impressed by Frederick Levy's book. Every question a student has ever asked me about the industry is answered here. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a supplemental text book for any college level class. Not only is it informative but it's fun to read!

Summary: A Optimistic Joy
Review: Excellent book about breaking into the "Industry". This book details almost all jobs in the industry and really tells you how to go about securing that job without knowing someone who can help you. You may find that you are better suited for another career within the industry, one you never would have dreamed of. Frederick Levy is a guy who knows his stuff and truly wrote this book to help you succeed with your career in film. He talks about writing a Television 101.......I am waiting!! Although Hollywood 101 was just as helpful! After reading your book, I am more than ever convinced that I shall succeed as well. Thanks Mr. Levy, I look forward to more books on the Industry from you!!

Summary: A Film Student's Bible
Review: Hollywood 101, The Film Industry by Frederick Levy is an informative and helpfull guide to those who are interested in pursuing a career in the industry. Not only does the book break-down and define the players involved in the film making process but it also includes a long list of contact information, tips and real-life examples of what to do and not to do.

Summary: A Great Book to get started
Review: I am an entertainment buff and I thought this book was great for people who want a survey of jobs they can pursue. It gave an in depth look at a lot of the positions in the film business. If you want a general look at the possible jobs, get this book. If you are more interested in television, this book is a great start, but it doesn't say anything about that since its primarly about film so look for another book for further reading. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to break into the business, it was really helpful for me.

Summary: Best book on breaking in I have read
Review: I can't say which book is going to tell you how to "get in" to Hollywood, since I haven't tried it. What I can tell you is that I've read a good number of these books and this one is by far the best and most promising. Not only is it up to date, it is honest, full of interesting side-stories, and covers almost everything you'd want to know about all the professions in the business. This is the perfect book for those who aren't in film school but still have a passion to make movies. My only complaint is that it should have been longer.

Summary: A great book by a really great person
Review: I have had the opportunity to meet with Fredrick Levy about my own career in Film Scoring and he is one if the most knowlegeble, and nicest people in Hollywood. This book is really well written and informative. If you are starting out in Hollywood, whether you are a producer, director, or whatever, this book is for you.
