The State of Producing | Produced By Conference 2024

Producers are accustomed to the concept of pivoting - both on set and within the dynamic landscape of film and television production. The State of Producing panel delves into the critical challenges that are facing producers in the current industry. What considerations and strategies are producers implementing in response to these hurdles? We will unravel the complexities and opportunities facing producers in today’s evolving entertainment ecosystem.
Speakers: Brad Simpson (Partner, Color Force), Lynette Howell Taylor (A STAR IS BORN, BLUE VALENTINE), Mike Farah (@FTER MIDNIGHT), and Tommy Oliver (Founder & CEO, Confluential Films).
Moderated by Stephanie Allain (Owner, Homegrown Pictures).

It's getting rather ridiculous, the number of producers I've heard state that they are the ONLY ones in the budget (see 13:08) who don't get health insurance. I assume these producers aren't in scripted tv/features, or they would know that VISUAL EFFECTS crew members are the only below-the-line employees (other than entry-level Production Assistants) who are non-union and do not qualify for ANY benefits. Many producers are able to qualify for MPI health insurance, at least.
