About the author

For many years I have had people come to me for advise on how to get into the movie business. Like many that will be reading this book, I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I came into the business at age 28 with no experience except from jobs outside the industry. I knew nothing about the business, but I was hungry to learn. At that time, I could've used a book like the one I'm writing. I worked hard, asked many questions, learned fast and was persistent. Through time, opportunities and doors began to open. And once that chance was there, I went after it.

Entering my 25th year in the business, I feel that my experience and knowledge can help many people. I have had an incredible journey making films in the Bay Area with amazing people and projects. I am lucky to say that each year in the business for me has given me at least two to three jobs per year where I finish them and tell myself, "I will remember that project my whole life." That to me is the magic-- loving what you do, being excited about what might happen and not really knowing what the next text, phone call or project will bring. Each person's journey will be different and interesting and that is what keeps you coming back year after year. My hope is that this book will give each reader an opportunity to experience this same kind of magic.

Update #3 - Update title June 17, 2020

Hello all!

Here is the latest update on the progress of the book.  I am continuing to work through the first of 3 rounds of editing on the manuscript.  It is coming along and taking shape.  I am also working with my publisher and the team artists to create the book cover front and back.  This particular part of the process has gone through many transformations.  Creating a book cover is not as easy as one might think!!  Being a first time author, I had no idea the amount of work that goes into publishing a book.  It continues to be a fun and very challenging journey.  Thank you all for being a part of it and patiently waiting for it.  

Hope this finds all of you and your families well and thriving.

All the best.

Joe Allen
