Welcome to the home page for THE BEST BOY DIARIES, where you will see that life in the movies isn't as glamorous as they make it look on TV. It is an essential read for any aspiring filmmaker, film student, cinemaphile, film professional or anyone who has ever dreamed of being "in the movies" or thought of moving to Hollywood to work in "the business."

Rick Kelley, Studio Electrical Lighting Technician and member of IATSE Local 728 Hollywood says the book "reflects a universal truth about working in our business" and that "the writing itself is entertaining... very tight, well developed and flows smoothly and seamlessly."
