Making Mischief: The Intern Diaries

"Screenwriter William Goldman said that the most exciting day of your life is your first day on a movie set, and that the most boring day of your life is your second day on a movie set. Yet, if you know whats going on, its not boring; its a fascinating lesson in a process that few outsiders are ever permitted to witness. Films are assembled from hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual pieces, and this astute behind-the-scenes journal records how all those details came about on a daily basis and resulted in a movie called Mischief. It gives rare and intimate insight into the way every motion picture, with only slight variations, is born."
