Book Presentation:
HOLLYWOOD From Below the Line: A Prop Master's Perspective Steven M. Levine, a veteran Hollywood property master, through both humorous recollections and poignant stories, not only takes the reader onto a Hollywood set as a

About the Author:
During his 39-year career, Levine logged 73,000+ hours working on films as a property master (or assistant) on 30+ feature films and countless episodes of television productions. Growing up in Hollywood, he took after his father, Allan Levine, a long-time property master who founded the well-known prop rental house on Venice Boulevard in LA, The Hand Prop Room. Steven lives with his wife and two dogs in Manhattan Beach, California.

Press Reviews:
Steven clearly shows how vitally important props are to an actor--and to a film. His book is full of amazing information, anecdotes, and details only an insider would know. This is a wonderful, personal view of an often-overlooked, rarely written about, fascinating part of show business. My personal favorite is the chapter on Pee-wee's Big Adventure! -- --Paul
