Overview of class

Of all the filmmaking disciplines, producing often seems the most elusive. This course will demystify the work of a producer by taking students through the producer's role during the various phases of filmmaking: development, pre-production, production, post-production, and marketing/distribution. Importantly, students will develop an awareness of their artistic values as well as explore strategies and tools that offer options for team building and financing. Ultimately, students will learn about the myriad decisions that producers must make and the tasks for which they are responsible. By the end of the class, each student should have a greater understanding of how to balance the art with the business of producing.
