🎬 Episode 33 - Pick a Producer

If you want to produce anything and you are not a producer…
👉 You need to get one.

Hi, I’m Denis O’Brien from Make Your Film.

If you’re creating a movie or a show, you will need someone to produce it.

Selling vs. Producing

📜 Want to sell your idea? Write query letters and market your script.
🎥 Want to make your own film? Well, that’s a different beast—and I’m here to help.

Types of Producers You’ll Encounter

There are many types of producers, including:
✔️ Agency Producers
✔️ TV Station Producers
✔️ Production Company Producers
✔️ Line Producers (day-to-day operations)
✔️ Consulting Producers
✔️ Assistant, Associate, and Executive Producers (big-picture and financing)

💡 You’ll need more than one.

A film producer is the one who picks up the project, puts it on rails, and brings it home.
🔹 Executive Producers handle the money.
🔹 Line Producers manage the day-to-day.
🔹 Additional Producers & Assistants step in at different phases.

How to Choose the Right Producer

✅ Know their motivations – Do they align with yours?
✅ Trust them – Can they get it done?
✅ Handle pressure – This industry is all about pressure. How do they react?
