Hollywood From Below the Line: A Prop Master's Perspective

Excellent read. Enjoyed it very much.

As someone new to The Industry and looking for more information and a behind-the-scenes sort of look at the life and work of a Prop Master, I'm glad I read it.Not the most fantastic prose (and it's not terribly well edited, either) but the stories were interesting and I did learn quite a bit.

This book is incredibly well done, Like having a good friend sit and tell you of all their best stories from 'the industry'. I will never look at movies the same way, and have a list of films i want to go back and rewatch after reading this! So good... Can't wait for the hardcopy to be released so I can gift it to all the movie lovers in my life.

Good book if you want to learn what goes on in the movie industry as far as props go. All aspects of movie making behind the scenes have always fascinated me so I am reading all these books to satisfy my curiosity and this book sure did.

A true inside look at making a living as a Hollywood crew member. Whether smoking Robert Mitchum's homegrown herb or supplying the booze for a too drunk to act Robert DeNiro, Levine's stories give you the scoop on some of Hollywood's great movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading each section. I was sorry when it ended with the last story. Not living in L.A. its hard to imagine what goes on behind the scenes. The idea was original and worth the read.

Great insight to a prop masters world. Im a prop master for low budget films, this really informs on the different rolls a prop master can play on and off set.

enjoyed reading
