About this workshop
Producing independent films from a producer point of view:
What is it like? What are the realities of a producer? When should I sign my contract and what to argue on? Is he / she over-making profit on my project? What is a fair percentage? How to chose the right producer? How not end up hating each other? Can I trust him / her? Sharing experiences and thoughts about the crucial relationship between producer and director, in order to make great films together.
