Yeah, I've started producing a couple of shorts. Shooting a few more this summer. But I wanted to make sure I developed a solid preproduction plan that works for all levels of filmmaking. Because of this experience I'm gaining, I've started building a plan, but I want to make sure I'm dotting my i's and crossing my T's.

A small production is the same as a big production, just more of everything to manage. More people, more money, more time, more locations, more contracts, more money, more agents to deal with, more actors, more money, more crew, more equipment, more money and more patience... Did I mention more money? ;)

lol I get your point

Work on as many film shoots as possible. be an intern for a producer, you'll learn much quicker.

There's a fantastic book called "so you want to be a producer" - Lawrence Turman I think I purchased it from amazon but is well worth a read as it gives his personal view plus highs and lows of this ever evolving industry

very nice headline. clever.

lol thanks, but I honestly don't remember if I heard it from some where else or not. it was in my head for years.

Well it made me giggle. Will you be linking your videos you are doing now?

Yes. I'm still learning how to work this site and where everything is at. I'll post the teaser to a doc I'm working on with another producer in a few seconds on my page.

New to Stage 32. Currently in the army. I've been writing for a couple of years. I published a poem on booksiesilk.com. I also completed two screenplays, one is undergoing a rewrite, and the other, I am shopping around for representation. It's hard. I got two call backs for the entire script. But that's about it.
