Despite increasing corporate mergers and bottom-line thinking, the
entertainment business will never function like a bank or an
insurance company because it is an industry rooted in imagination.
Rules are meant to be broken. The best work is often produced in an
environment where plans change by the minute and nothing seems to
make sense. To wit, those who choose this profession must alter
preconceived notions of work itself, sometimes discovering that
fantasy and horror describe both movie genres and life on the job.
The phenomenon crosses class lines: From the writers, directors,
and producers to the lawyers, agents, studio executives, and crew
and right down to the porta-potty suppliers. The Way We Work
provides a window into the skill sets and the insanity that make
movies and television tick. Essays by award-winning writers,
directors, and producers chronicle the process and the obstacles
facing those at the top of the creative food chain. Oral histories
from executives to "below-the-line" workers describe life in the
trenches, which often present as Stud's Terkel's Working-on acid.
