As you know, I've been an AD forever but with my short film last year (and film festival this year) and my documentary the last handful of years, I've gradually been learning more and more about producing. Granted, so far it's been on my own funding but it has led me to meeting more people - including here at stage32.com which gives me more knowledge so when the opportunity does come along, I will be more prepared. I was a bit late in the short film route but there's something you could do to show your producing skills. Definitely here you're in the right spot to ask questions from the professionals here. If you ever get the opportunity to be a producer's assistant, I would take that spot. So many of those I know have learned and often moved up from there. When there are funds available, there's some producing workshops and seminars here that give you budgeting skills and other things to have in your producing bag of tricks. Hopefully, some others will add to this conversation!
