The Production Assistant's Pocket Handbook - free PDF
The Production Assistant's Pocket Handbook, a FREE downloadable guide to being a Production Assistant in Film or Television
Having not been a P.A. (production assistant), I dunno how good the advice is, but it is a fun little breezy read. Somebody emailed me asking how to get a foot in the door in some city I've never been to and I said I didn't know beyond looking to post/production houses and checking the online forums, so to that stranger, here's the best answer I've got.
Free downloadable PDF.

I was a PA, so I know.... this is a VERY good list of what to do if you do not want to be a PA for more than a shoot or 2. Brings back fond memories... and a tear to my eye...
good luck

I wasn't a PA, but I have been on some film shoots, and the advice sounds quite good to me, so I would be interested what parts you would advice differently?
Thank you very much
Thomas

Could be updated to reflect cell phone usage and etiquette, but otherwise quite a good guide!
