Softcover 2017 written by Lauren Lindsay and Kenny Chaplin – 190 Pages

Craft Service provides food service around set, and buffet style to the cast and crew suitable to the environment on any given day or night. In this live seminar and training manual, we discuss details specific to managing and executing the job of providing nourishment to a working film crew (and cast) in full production. You will learn all the steps involved from setting up your truck, getting hired, and knowing what is expected of you (from Producers, Cast, and Crew). Our passion for fresh and healthy foods, which promotes a happy and productive crew, has made our instructor famous behind the camera.
