The IIPG (independent producers guild - independentproducersguild.org) wants to hear from all independent producers and filmmakers regarding it's developing apprenticeship programs.
There are very few meaningful professional training programs in the film industry. Film school is helpful for some but often inadequate and by it's nature, academic and general. The DGA has training programs for assistant directors, but not much else. The PGA has nothing. People are left to their own devices to figure out production management and re-invent wheels across genres, formats and productions.The IIPG is therefore developing a paid apprenticeship program aimed at giving qualified people direct, meaningful production experience, on-the-job and under the supervision of experienced producers, line producers, production managers and coordinators. Interested?
We're looking to bring on qualified producers who are willing to make room for a paid apprentice on their production. The IIPG will take care of compensation, while the production gets the extra hand and in return the commit to ensuring certain tutelage and skills exposure is undertaken.
If you want to be part of this - whether as a financial supporter, as an employer, or as an aspiring producer/pm - contact us through the website at independentproducersguild.org.

I saw TG on Tuesday. It was fantastic. Happy to see on IMAX.
writers should study how TG writers drop set up and payoffs. Foreshadowing. Very Hollywood formula, and it still works! Ppl at the theater...

As for Paramount deciding 45 or 90 window- I dont care. It aint my $$ or job on the line.
I am glad after 4 years on the shelf the movie is finally released!
Personal note: 20 years ago, I worked several music videos with the cinematographer of TG! So happy ppl finally see Claudio's camera work!

Bob Bakish has a 45-day strategy for Paramount overall, but Tom Cruise reportedly insisting on a full 120-day theatrical window for ”Top Gun: Maverick“.

Planning on a view at a drive-in on Sunday (weather). Not a huge fan of TG. It's just a fun night out.

"My opinion, this film releasing on Memorial Day weekend and officially opening the summer blockbuster season is as good as it gets." I agree. Theatrical is where it's at. I am curious to see the results, and the W.E.H., Whatever Else Happens, when the Net meets TG. And vice versa...
