This workshop will cover the general basics of being a producer on a short form movie project – covering: pre-pro, production and post. You will learn how to…

* turn your idea (or someone else’s) into a script
* hire a crew
* find a director
* organize the paperwork
* cope with setbacks
* build contingency plans
* barter
* everything in between.

In the end, you will have a basic knowledge on how to get a project started, keep it going, and see it through to completion.

The job of producer varies from project to project, person to person – but in all cases, a great deal of producing comes from personal experience and one’s own style of leadership. This class will show you what you, if you were a producer, could expect in any given project, and how you can take the things you already know and apply them to a movie project to make it successful.
