Finding a producer

Hi everyone,

I'm mainly an actress. I have created 4 short films. My husband has done a few short biopics. We are venturing out on our first feature documentary. I am looking for guidance from a producer or a key person to possibly lead this project. I have lots of questions as to how a doc gets prod...

Hi Irena,

I’m not a Lead in this area, but there should be other Lounges to find people and a format to follow for the Documentary. Have you checked your local library? I’ve found film music books from...

Riverhood

The only word to describe the last 3 years is a blur. Early morning and late nights building the necessary network to make things happen are finally paying off. I've been developing a sitcom down here in New Orleans called "Riverhood." We'll begin shooting the pilot episode in August. There ain't no...

Greetings! I'm a composer based in Ibiza, working in the video game industry since 2015, now venturing into scoring for short films. Excited to attend Cannes Festival from May 16-21 for the first time. Let's connect!

Looking for someone who will be attending the full time of the Cannes Festival I will be arriving on the 13th and leaving on the 29th.

I'm a screenwriter currently undertaking a Masters in screenwriting (Duh). I'll be attending for the first time this year for 4 days, and I know absolutely nobody - anyone into horror/comedy fancy a coffee or beer?. I'm in England, just under 2 miles from Shepperton Studios.

How can a writer work with a production company?

Hi, this is the first time I've encountered a producer liking my treatment. The producer asked what types of collaborations with his production company I'm considering (I don't even know what they are). I'm a beginner, I have 0 experience. What do you recommend?

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Ksenia XX. You could collaborate with the producer by writing your treatment into a script that he produces, or you could collaborate with him by writing one of his ideas into a script....

Allan Air

You need to write the script, in format. Happy hunting.

Amanda Toney

We have a great webinar about this! https://www.stage32.com/education?p=8944858923315

Final Draft has a great setup for helping to get your formatting correct for production company work!

Niki Galiano

Cheers could be rebooted to The Pharmacy, where all the regulars hang around a green juice bar instead of a bar! lol

Pat Alexander

Stephanie Moore i think maybe Mike Faist could be the man for a Labyrinth reboot!

Pat Alexander

Niki Galiano both amazing suggestions :)

Pat Alexander

I think a "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" (1962) remake would absolutely rollick today. Swap out decapitation / head-transplant for some AI / Neuralink implant deal and you've got yourself A MOVIE

Sam Sokolow

Heavy Metal 1980 animated cult classic but also afraid they'd not do this masterpiece justice.

Always liked the cartoon more than the live-action personally but it's a great creative team. INterested in how the bring Scooby to life.

Daniel Husbands

I have yet to experience a live action adaptation that's lived up to the animated original, the closes would be Jungle Book in my opinion, then perhaps The Lion King. Still I would much rather watch something original than a remake of anything.

Kerry Kennard

Daniel Husbands - I like your last sentence- making something original!

I remember liking and watching Scooby Do, though making something new is always challenging.
