Producing : Development Producers!!!! by Christopher Michael Lacey

Development Producers!!!!

Hello, Yesterday I spoke to Johnny Wu, Labid Aziz, Derek Dark, and Joseph Lanius, about a Trilogy screenplay I am working on with my Agent. They suggested for me to find a development producer to work with to help give me the direction for me to strengthen the story, the characters, the rewrite, and prepare the script to shoot. How do you find a development producer? I’ve never heard of this position. Thank you in advance for the help! I really appreciate it!!!!

Ah HA! You DID post in the Producing Lounge, I just didn't see it yet - my bad! It's also referred to as a Creative Producer, or the kind of Producer that understands both the art of story and the logistics of production. Before you try to find one, though - what exactly are you looking to do? That is, where are you now, and what is your next step? That way you can make your ask very specific and more likely for someone to help.

We actually have an awesome class coming up with a top creative producer, Jim Young that you would find really interesting: https://www.stage32.com/classes/Stage-32-Producing-Class-What-You-Need-t.... Jim's worked with Bradley Cooper, Dev Patel, Amanda Seyfried and many more. He goes through the whole process of development producing.

Hi Christopher. This is what I am looking to move into myself after years of being production crew. At the moment I am a Creative Director at an ad agency, where I develop scripts, storyboards, ideas etc to make them workable and memorable. More than happy to run some fresh eyes across interesting scripts if you need some crit.
