The Business of Hollywood: Why You Need a Producer to get Your Project Made
from The Storyteller’s Mission with Zena Dell Lowe · host Zena Dell Lowe
S2_E22 – The Business of Hollywood: Why You Need a Producer to Get Your Project MadeFor the last few weeks, we've been discussing how Hollywood works. What are some of the things that you should know as a writer so that you don't end up getting ripped off or scammed by a so-called opportunity that some charlatan brings your way? We also started talking about option agreements and how you have to get a project to a producer, either a novel that you want adapted into a screenplay, or a screenplay that you've written. It's got to be about the story. That's what a producer is working with. This week, I want to explain the basics of what a producer does. This is to educate you. These are broad strokes, not step by step instructions. I don't claim to have all the answers. I just want to give writers more insight into the movie making process so that they're not ignorant, and so that they're less gullible or less easy to be deceived.
