The personal stories from the actors and filmmakers are fun and entertaining and provide good insight into their lives and careers in the film industry."      -- by Danielle Burbank, San Juan Coll., Farmington, NM , 5/1/21

In addition to acting, their work includes motion picture, television, and digital production in such roles as director, producer, writer, cinematographer, and editor. Included in these biographies are real-world descriptions of what each member of a production team does, as well as advice on what it takes to get started in the entertainment industry. The glossary in the back of the book highlights the terminology used in TV/movie production, and the list of resources provides a variety of ways to obtain additional information about the industry.
