A to Z Guide to FilmTerms
"The A to Z Guide to Film Terms is the handiest damn book I have on my shelf! An invaluable guide and resource for the professional or novice. It's fun, factual and small enough to use for a coaster..."

"For those in the industry or those who want to be in the know. Chock full of technical jargon and slang expressions, the guide has become a Canadian best-seller and required reading in some university and college film programs."
Maclean’s Magazine
"A great, pocket sized resource book for anyone in the film biz. I have used it in my film orientation classes for the past 5 years and recommend it to all newcomers to the industry. It's an invaluable tool."

"The A to Z Guide to Film Terms has been a bestseller at Biz Books from the day it arrived. This pocket-sized book appeals to a whole cross-section of our customers – from the new actor or crew member anticipating their first day on set to the film buff who just wants to be ‘in the know’. It is such a valued resource that many schools, teachers, and professional training facilities make this required reading for their students.
Affordable and informative – it’s one of our top recommendations." Catherine Lough-Haggquist, Film and Television Actor and Owner of Biz Books in Vancouver, BC
"As a producer/director, and filmmaking instructor, I have used the booklet A to Z Guide to Film Terms many times in a classroom situation and have found it to be an excellent resource to the language of film."
Roy Hayter, Director, Producer and Instructor at the Vancouver Film School
"This handy guide is great for any film buff who has watched the credits roll at the end of a movie and wondered just what the heck a gaffer is. (A gaffer is the person in charge of all electrical and light requirements on a set.)"
Tribute Magazine
"For the student, independent or professional filmmaker, or indeed for any interested non-filmmaker, Tim Moshansky’s A to Z Guide to Film Terms is an essential reference to the film industry jargon that many have heard, but fewer understand. And the book is even pocket-sized so you can take it on set for a quick peek if you come across a term you don’t understand. Filmmaking.net gives this book 4 stars out of 5."
