When I started working in Los Angeles, I started as a PA on film and commercials sets, and then worked as an assistant, and now, somehow, I'm a writer. But I really liked my days as a set PA, running around, closing roads, carrying coffees, and just being enveloped by making movies and TV in Hollywood. Today, I wanted to put together a glossary that every young PA can use to learn the terms they'll hear on film sets and fit in with everyone. Let's dive in. --- The Production Assistant Glossar...| No Film School

A young woman asked, “Did you always want to direct or did casting work inspire you to direct?” My response was immediate: “I always knew I wanted to direct but my self-worth was in the gutter. So, I had to...| Filmmaker Magazine
In my recent Filmmaker conversation with Julia Loktev about the making of her monumental documentary, My Undesirable Friends, I cited the work of the late documentary filmmaker Joel DeMott, because I believe there is a straight line between DeMott’s approach in the late 1970s to shooting vérité documentary using shoulder-mounted 16mm cameras and Loktev’s latter-day methods using iPhones. DeMott, who died in June, has been eulogized in obits in Documentary and The New York Times, so no...| Filmmaker Magazine
