EP 301: PRODUCERS - CREATIVE VS PRODUCTION

This season is going to be all about how the different departments work together to make a film or a series. For example, how does the director work with the director of photography and art departments to set the look? How do props and special effects work together? How do grips and gaffers collaborate? We'll get to all of these questions this season. But, as we always do, let's start at the beginning. This episode is all about how a script transitions from development to production, from the perspectives of creative producers and a line producer.  Joining us for this episode is Jeanette Volturno, Co-founder of Catch A Break and Catchlight Studios, Jessica Malanaphy, Co-founder of Catch A Break and Catchlight Studios, and Fanshen Cox, producer and development executive at Pearl Street Films. In this episode we will touch base on what their specific jobs entail, diversity in casting, the business and creative side of production, and different tips that will help when entering the industry.
