The place for all producers to discuss, share content and offer tips and advice on raising funds, setting a budget, on set strategies and all other topics related to producing a film, television or theater project
AI - not going anywhere; increasingly ubiquitous; loved and hated by the best of us :)
For producers, AI is more than just about the creative impact or tasks. Everything from scheduling to budgeting to forecasting to market research is already transformed by AI capabilities.

As a Producer , What Makes You Decide or Say :
" I want To Fund And Produce This Project "
Most producers will check if:
- the project is viable in this market (is there an audience?)
- the script can attract talent
- it can be made for a budget
- it can be marketed
Phenomenal, outstanding writing, dialogue and story.
This is a very open question ! Very interested in reading producer's answers.
For me, the first and most important factor is that the material has to move me. There needs to be something about the story, the characters, or the concept that stays with me, something I can’t stop...

Friends, I’d love your input. I’m currently working on a series called Джант. It’s an absurd-comedy legal procedural.
For better positioning and optimization for streaming platforms, what episode runtime do you think works best today?
20–25 minutes? 30 minutes? 45 minutes? Something else?
I’d really ap...

If it's a comedy, then 30 minutes will do.
Sundance is officially underway for its 45th and final year in Park City before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 2027. Here's what's making waves:

Happy to see A24 won the bidding war for The Invite with a $10m+ reported sale.
A24's been dominating Sundance for nearly 10 years; what an incredible success story.
A24 picked up my film First Reformed out of Venice, ahead of Sundance. An incredible success story indeed!
Hi everyone,
I’d really appreciate your advice.
Right now I’m working on a project called Giant. It’s about a brilliant lawyer with dwarfism who wins unbelievable cases. In his personal life, he deeply loves his wife, Scarlett. She also has dwarfism, but she works as a model, advertising children’s cl...

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t fully agree. The core story — Henri’s story — is primarily absurd and comedy with elements of drama. Scarlett’s story is a drama. Henri’s brother’s story is crime, drama,...

Hard enough to sell one, my friend. But I wish you luck.
I know how hard it is to sell even one project, and I’m working toward that. I have a very clear vision of the main character. I haven’t written the full bible yet, but I’m developing it, and I clearl...

Hello Stage 32 community,
I’m a screenwriter with a completed feature film screenplay (drama/thriller with supernatural elements).
Due to an ongoing family crisis, I’m currently in a difficult personal situation and am offering this screenplay for a very limited consideration price starting from $2,00...

As we step into January/February, I’m curious to hear from the producing minds in this community.
This is the month where momentum really starts to take shape. Sundance has just wrapped, leaving behind its usual wave of discoveries and distribution buzz. The Golden Globes have already shifted the awa...

A successful project is an amazing feat, but there are many incomplete ones where we place our hopes too high, only to never see the end result. Two such projects feel worth sharing on this platform.
In 2017, I pitched a high-concept web series to production houses, based on a lesser-explored phase o...

"I have realized a bitter truth today. Just like the clash between talent and money, a person's life is full of contradictions.
While someone on one side of the world is burning in the fire of life’s agony, we watch them from the other side, holding a warm cup of coffee. We even smile, as if that day...
