Hello Stage 32. It's such a pleasure to be involved in this wonderful community. My name is Jack Binder, I am a producer, executive producer, line producer, and DGA UPM.
It's always great to see the collaborative interactions here and the amazing opportunities presented by the hard working staff! This is an invaluable resource and I encourage participation as there has never been anything close to like this available in my 30 years.
My credits include First Reformed (Ethan Hawke), Eating Our Way to Extinction (Narrated by Kate Winslet), Reign Over Me (Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle), The Upside of Anger (Kevin Costner, Joan Allen), Man About Town (Ben Affleck, John Cleese), The Comedy Store (Showtime) and many more film and tv productions.
I founded www.FilmBudget.com Worldwide to help fellow filmmakers fast forward their film finance with accurate, proven film budget and schedule packages, film finance business plans, and one-on-one producer consulting for select clients as time permits.
Keep up the great work, continue learning constantly! I've always felt this is a business of perseverance and that is more evident today than earlier in my career. Learn and grow for the long haul.
Good luck in filmmaking!

You're welcome, Jack Binder. I'll be relaxing too. I just came up with an incredible script idea today, so I might be working on that too.

Jack - glad to see you here on Introduce Yourself Weekend, thank you for all your terrific insights to the Stage 32 community. You've had such a stellar career and we really appreciate all the support and knowledge you bring to the community. So, I have to ask, after all this time if you had to go back to your teenage self what advice would you give to yourself about getting into the entertainment industry?

Amanda Toney Thank you for this great platform, and thank you for your kind comments. My advice to my teenage self would be to read books more, learn with passion about the entertainment industry and all matters of life and business. It is important to be a well rounded person, with many life experiences, especially as a writer. Realize you will always keep learning, everything changes, and the ability to pivot in the face of disruption, adversity, set-backs is a critical skill.
