I read this while working as a script supervisor for a short film and honestly the book was of little help I learned almost entirely on set

This was amazing. I can't decide if I'm totally terrified of trying this line of work now or inspired to become like this person. Maybe it would help to not work with directors like Charlie Kauffman, whose main theme in all movies seems to be "drive the script supervisor crazy" xD

Mary Cybulski's Beyond Continuity is for script supervisors what Judith Weston's Directing Actors is to directors. A practical, accessible and realistic written workshop of the craft, filled to the brim with examples, illustrations and diagrams, each perfectly designed and easy to understand. Cybulski's mastery and experience shine through in her organisation and articulation, as well as her clear desire to what to empower others with information. I've worked as a script supervisor, and I was still almost knocked over by the reminder of how much they have to keep on top of.

Very comprehensive and and comprehensible guide to everything in the field of script supervising. My head is hurting, but that's likely because, like with everything, I need to actually do it to get better and probably f stuff up a bunch of times.

Excellent help and currently my script supervisor bible.
