My Book.  Yep!  I'm a published author too!

If you are an aspiring "filmmaker" or already in the professional industry, my book "What I Really Want to Do:  On Set in Hollywood" is full of information about working on set.  EVERY job on a typical movie set is discussed in detail explaining what everyone has done to get themselves those jobs, what they all actually do all day, and what those professionals can do to move up in the industry.
