Get a GRIP on reality. We absolutely love Melanie and her unflinching energy. She has quite an impressive job history as a best boy grip, working on huge budget films and TV shows such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Walking Dead. This conversation does not shy away from the true hardships of working in production. With her years of experience, Melanie has decided to collect her stories and create a how-to book called Below the Line.  It will be for sale via Book Baby very soon! Don't worry - we'll share when it's released!
