Workshop ’What does a film producer do’
“What does a film producer do?” is the operative question of this three-hour workshop. We will start by defining terms before moving to the five phases of the production process and centring the rest of the class around using marketing tools and strategies in raising finance, finding distribution, and maximising a project’s commercial potential in the marketplace. Taught by seasoned US producers and illustrated by VIEWPARK and Barbie Movie case studies.
The workshop is offered by the New York Film Academy (NYFA), a leading American private university founded in 1992, within our partnership with Netflix.
