WELCOME!

I’m Deb Patz, author of Film Production Management 101 (for industry pros), Write! Shoot! Edit! (for teens), and Surviving Production (for coordinators but now out of print and folded into Film Production Management 101). They are written from my own production experiences and are designed to be your personal mentor as you make your cinematic dreams come true.

As an industry pro since the 80s, I've made many of my own dreams come true over the years - from working with George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Disney, to working with IMAX sending a camera into space... real space.

I hope that my books, website and F.I.L.M. & INK blog can help you make YOUR cinematic dreams come true!

The third edition of "Film Production Management 101" is coming to bookstores and online in January 2025! It's fully-updated for this era of the respectful workplace and sustainable production practices.
