Basics

  • Occupation Camera Operator & Filmmaker
  • About Me Author of the award-winning book about PAs, "Gofers: On the Front Lines of Film and Television." A free sample of the first few chapters is available at my website (link in profile).

    I proudly say that I started out with zero connections in the film/TV production industry. That's a badge of honor to me: having had to forge my own path! First by making home movies in my backyard and sharing them on YouTube with 2,000,000+ viewers. Then by working as a freelance camera operator, and filmmaker on productions across the world. And most recently by writing a nonfiction book all about the entry-level lifestyles of production assistants.

    Hope to see you on set,

    Daniel Scarpati,
    Owner/Operator at Passing Planes Productions LLC

    As we don't do interviews, we'd have have an angle, a problem to be solved or a project to be worked out with a small panel of experts. Our guests are either there as experts in a field helping someone with their project, or they are the persons with the project that needs some clarity or help. Would you be able to present something along these lines for our viewers?

    I completely understand. Similar to how John Badham spoke about his fantastic book in the scope of working out problems with actors, I'm sure that I could present a problem-solving angle... I'm currently speaking virtually to college classes as a veteran PA--someone who started out with zero connections and found his way in to a very niche community. PAs as "essential film workers" is another topic that hasn't been discussed much during this pandemic. I've been hearing first-hand accounts that many of the COVID-19 preventative measures have been falling on the shoulders of PAs, so that's another angle I might be able to contribute to. Regardless, I'm happy to contribute in any way I can. =)

    Thanks guys! Your book looks very interesting. We've been busy lately with getting some other stuff off the ground, but will hopefully soon be able to return with some new episodes.

    No problem--thank you as well, Vind! Excited to see new episodes in the (hopefully near) future.

    And should you be open to having me as a guest or mentioning my book in an episode, I'm positive your audience would be interested in the stories I share... no pressure, but feel free to contact me anytime!
