Reviews

So you don't know what pups, snoots, kooks, high hats, velocilators, and wigwags are? Look them up in the Filmmaker's Dictionary, a marvelously comprehensive book that offers concise, nuts-and-bolts definitions of technical and legal terms used in scripts, contracts, and every aspect of production and distribution. Also included are definitions for on-set slang and trade-paper jargon, the different professions and organizations, and acronyms. This is author Singleton's fourth book on film production and clearly shows his 16 years experience in the business, working as assistant director, producer, and production manager (and you can look these jobs up in here to find out what Singleton does for a living). Indispensable for entertainment-oriented libraries and universities. David Bartholomew, NYPL
