Anonymous PA

The writer who blogs at The Anonymous Production Assistant speaks (albeit in a voice-altered way). We hear who a PA needs to be ("a monkey in a helmet"), what a PA needs to get a job (a drivers license and a car) and what a PA does (deliver scripts, get coffee, obey orders).

The writer who blogs at The Anonymous Production Assistant speaks (albeit in a voice-altered way). We hear who a PA needs to be ("a monkey in a helmet"), what a PA needs to get a job (a drivers license and a car) and what a PA does (deliver scripts, get coffee, obey orders). And we hear how this particular production assistant dreams of being a TV writer someday -- or at least a writers' PA.
