Joshua Friedman gives the readers an excellent walk through of everything a production assistant will EVER go through on a typical show or movie. I have read different film production how-to books in the past, but Josh does something that those books never properly explained: he shows how every production department is intertwined with one another, which departments interact with the PA the most, and how each of those departments affect the PA's job for the day. Every department is touched upon, from escorting the actors/actresses to hair and make up to asking the Teamsters for a ride to Starbucks for a coffee run, to getting tricked by the Grip department to helping them lift and pull heavy items.Josh goes into so much detail for the entire world of film production in this book, he even has appendixes dedicated to the different production reports you will look at on a daily basis! He gives you sample call sheets, petty cash vouchers, and production reports to study so that way, when you first walk on set, you already know what you're doing. My favorite section of the book was the career section, where he shows you everything you need to know about getting a PA job and keeping it. This section was valuable to me because it showed me the different pay rates, realistic time line to move up the production ladder, and the proper way to create a resume for a PA. This section, along with the various appendixes he has of sample reports, was worth the money alone.This book is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to enter the production world as a PA. Josh will show you proper etiquette on set, how to work a walkie talkie, even how to act around talent! This book has really helped me out in my search for a PA position in Hollywood and I would recommend this book for anyone who is serious about entering this world. My journey into this PA world is about to begin, and I will keep this book by my side as a roadmap through the crazy world of production. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invaluable. Has been my number one recommendation. Has helped a lot. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2015* I read this before my first professional TV job for TLC. I was nervous of course because I don't know a lot and didn't know what to expect. This book was extremely helpful with that. It really gives you info you would never get from other production books. For example, I read about walkie-talkie etiquitte in the book, but I didn't think a lot of it until I my first day on set and was given a walkie. Since I bought the kindle version of the book and read that section again during a break. Huge help. I was helping one of the producers figure it out by day two.The only negative is that the search on the kindle is not great. It was hard to find things that I was searching for. If I had time I would probably go back and read the printed version and take tons of notes.If you are starting out in the industry, even if you went to film school, pick up this book. It really helps with the small details people do not usually tell you about, but if you do them they will remember how helpful you were. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2021* I read this book in 1 day. It was so helpful with what to expect and who you will come in contact with on the job. 10 out of 10 would recommend. If you want to know more about what a PA is/does this book will tell you everything. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/20284571-getting-it-done-the-ultimate-production-assistant-guide](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/20284571-getting-it-done-the-ultimate-production-assistant-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
