Tales of a Film Prop Man: Take Two, by Pete Benson
From Michael Owen scoring goals to Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing from Dallas peddling gas, Pete Benson has worked with them all. But these weren’t movie sets—they were commercials.
After years in the film industry, Pete traded feature films for the fast-paced, unpredictable world of advertising. In this follow-up to his popular memoir, Tales of a Film Prop Man, Pete pulls back the curtain on the demanding world of commercials. He reveals trade secrets—like how to keep beer looking fresh under hot studio lights and what happens when a crucial prop goes missing minutes before filming.
Packed with humorous anecdotes about demanding directors, unforeseen disasters, and the camaraderie of a film crew, Tales of a Film Prop Man – Take Two offers a behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic, often hilarious world beneath the glossy images we see on our screens.
