Producing

Hello all. Just a general question (posted the same one in "Directing..."). I am meeting with some investors very soon about a script that I wrote. The producer/Director that I usually work with is not super excited about this script and, although I know he will still be a huge support when it comes...

I think once you know a ballpark for your budget, you'll have a better idea of what kind of director you can find. If you have a decent enough budget, you should have no problem finding a great indie...

Is love to hear about what types of projects interest you. I have been juggling several development projects of my own and I want to coalesce with others who are interested in teaming up.

Posible a documentary, or music video. Once I got the project, then start hiring.

Are you looking for an idea?

Hello hello. Documentary you say! just came in here to look up financing a documentary. The concept: at the 2016 Oscars the short documentary film 'the white helmets' won the Oscar for best short doc....

Danny Villanueva Jr. Understood. Good idea. One more suggestion. Have you thought of subscribing to @imdbpro? It is only $21 a month. And I find having the e-mail addresses of agents and managers of A...

Danny Villanueva Jr. Sorry my bad you were looking for CREW not CAST. So @imdbpro.com won't help you with crew, just cast, Good Luck.

Check out: staffmeup.com --- also check out your local or state film commission. Often there's a database with a crew directory.

As Lindbergh E Hollingsworth said, depending on the state you live in, there should be a state-wide database for crew for hire. For example, Illinois has a nice database for this. Obviously this doesn...

Hey Becky, I highly recommend Producer to Producer http://amzn.to/2lC18Kt -- also it depends on what part of producing you want to learn more about? The creative/packaging? Or the physical production?

Becky Taylor Hellwig

Thanks Jo. I think it is more about the physcial production. This book look like it's a great start!

You're welcome!

You need to reprint in RED,RED, RED. Because in BLACK,BLACK,BLACK. You will see less GREEN,GREEN,GREEN. Just a suggestion! Don't shoot the messenger! If they can't CLICK on it and have access . They won't go to it! You follow? Good!

For future gigs, don't overlook Steven's suggestion. There is much to learn from the pros.
