I want you to go to work feeling confident and knowing exactly how to succeed even if you’ve never worked on a film before.

For as long as costume Production Assistants have existed within the costume department, there has been no training, manual, guide, or guidance of any kind — until this ebook.

What does a costume pa do? If you are unsure, this ebook is a great resource to add to your back pocket.

Before, pa’s would go to work just being told, “you’re smart, you'll figure it out.” How are you meant to not only show up, but succeed and excel, to land the next job or move up within the costume department if you have no idea what any task will be given to you.

This ebook is all about the goings-on in your average Union production costume office and will make any PA, seasoned or new, feel much more confident going into work.

This ebook will be a great resource with over 200 pages detailing scenarios and tips for you as problems arise in the office that you can refer back to and know exactly how to handle a situation with confidence.

In the book you will find: common words you'll hear around the office, what jobs exist within the department, who you work with outside of the costume department, daily tasks expected of a pa, how to check the shopping and rentals in, how to do returns, what a pcard is, pos, petty cash, envelopes, taping receipts, walkie talkie lingo, working as a costumer, and so much more!

Along with the purchase of this ebook, you can request an invite to an exclusive Facebook Group for Atlanta costume coordinators, supervisors, and other PA’s who have purchased this ebook, which WILL ultimately connect you to more work opportunities. In the Atlanta area, I am texted frequently asking for pa’s who are available, and I send out the contact info of only people who have purchased my book.

Once purchased, you’ll have 24 hours to download the PDF ebook. Contact me at GAcostumePA@gmail.com for any questions regarding the material or for access to the exclusive Facebook group.

Please note: A costume office in Georgia runs similarly to the practices in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and LA. New York is slightly different, but overall, it’s roughly the same format.

This ebook and the facebook group are not a guarantee of a costume pa job, but use this ebook as a training manual, handbook, or guide as it will prepare you to do the job well. You’ll be so prepared that you will land that PA interview and succeed every single day at work.

“As a local (Atlanta, GA) supervisor I've reached out to her 3 times in the past month, and each of her recommendations was wonderful! Experienced, helpful, and hit the ground running. I'm only looking for a 3rd person bc the first 2 were so great I recommended them for full time positions when fellow supervisors asked! Having Marcella to ask for PA names had saved me tons of time and stress.
So for anyone interested in getting into the costumes department, I highly recommend purchasing her book; it clearly does a good job of teaching what you need to know. It's also a great way to start the networking process and get that first job.
Thanks Marcella!!!” — Leslie Acton

“This book is exactly what I was looking for. After a lot of research, I found there isn't a lot of information or resources on how exactly to start a career in costumes in the film industry. How To: Succeed as a Costume Production Assistant has prepped me with valuable knowledge of what is expected as a costume production assistant, and I am confident I will do the job far better now than I would have without this book!” — Kailey S.

“Purchasing this Ebook is a worthwhile investment for any costume PA just starting out or trying to improve their value in their current department. Especially for myself, a new Georgia resident interested in working with costumes and wardrobes for the film and television industry, I found it helpful in acclimating to my new surroundings. In this book, a reader should expect to find both logical and sound instruction to the entry level costume department position and a great number of insider tips to mastering the PA role, keeping it safe, and being the most efficient and memorable worker. You no longer have to fear jumping into to the job blind, this book is here to help!” — Tina Battaglia

“I am so glad this book exists. As someone coming into the industry this is a great resource to share some of the ins and outs of working as a PA in the wardrobe department. I feel because of the awesome job Marcella did in writing the book, I can go on jobs organized, prepared, and focused. This is a must have tool.” — Christina

“I hesitated before purchasing this book because of the price point and also how we’re in the midst of a global pandemic. However, every couple of days, I would find myself back at this website! My curiosity finally won the battle and I purchased this book on a whim. This book was a quick read, I finished it in one sitting! It was so encouraging and gave me hope that I can succeed in this industry. I 100% believe that when I finally get called to work as a Costume PA, I will know exactly what is going to happen and can take on any task given to me. I’m happy I decided to use this quarantine to enhance my skillset as a costume pa. Thanks, Marcella!” — Anonymous

“I purchased your ebook back in October before I started my first full time costume PA job. I just wanted to let you know how much it helped me to prepare and ease my nerves. I’ve honestly learned so much from this book & I really appreciate the time you put into it.” — M. P

“I believe this book will help anyone who wants the help from it! Green or not. Before I landed my first wardrobe PA job I read through this book twice. Just to really soak it in! I was nervous for the first job and we all know that first impressions matter. I wanted to know a little of what I was in for and be prepared! This book helped ease my nerves immensely and I'm grateful for it! Everything Marcella goes over well-equips you plus also helps you not get taken advantage of which is really important! I highly recommend this book to others! It helps ease the mind and it prepares you just as much as you want it to!” — C.S
