- All Things Producing: Ask The Pros: Getting a story to the screen, big or small, requires a unique combination of passion, imagination, and commercial savvy, all banked on a tenuous marriage between your own creative instincts and the tastes of the marketplace. How do working producers strive to find the sweet spot where innovative storytelling overlaps with popular appeal? And how do they work to keep the necessary “heat” under a project as it slowly (oh, so slowly…) comes together? Perhaps above all, how does a producer working in today’s marketplace work to finally turn a “no” - or a series of them - into a “yes”? Bring your best questions about the job of producing, and join the conversation!

This video is very insightful 🙏🏽
The internet is changing everything, you just have to know how to produce your work, "knowledge" is key.
Yeah, step one be rich.
Talent Agents are not always connected to key distributors. When you need a distributor to LOI and Actors to LOI, and Investors to LOI... I take it these production people have their companies with loads of capital to put into something to then spec out to distributors. Breaking down the instance of not having funding, but signing your idea means they can keep it for years and never produce it, and you are unable to then sell it to someone else.
Are you guys posting the full session?
Network and cable tv is so agent dominated....How does one get one of these agents?
In other words, you are fucked unless you know someone in the industry already.
So, fake it till you make it.
These people are just repeating cliche, outdated answers. The agent system has blocked the vast majority of talented artists from the industry. And you can not make decisions based upon popularity of a youtube video. This is the reason why most of what we see in the movies and television industry is garbage, junk produced by well conected people. The only way for beginning artists is to produce your own movie or play, put it on film and sell it to independent distributors like Pluto, Tubi, etc. Use an independent lawyer if you have to. Forget agents. They are the past. People like Bill Murray don't even have an agent.
