SUMMARY:Desperately Seeking Producer
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales and Dear Producer joined forces to bring you an online panel and curated networking mixer for feature filmmakers of all marginalized genders. \nWe began with a discussion around the elusive question\, ‘How do I find a producer?’ with producers Lexi Tannenholtz (Booger\, Bad Things)\, Mars Verrone (Union)\, and Monique Walton (Sing Sing\, Bull). Moderated by Dear Producer founder Rebecca Green (It Follows\, All That We Love). Afterwards\, we divided up into smaller discussion circles for intimate conversations with the panelists based on a series of guided prompts. \nLearn about the different types of producers in both the scripted and unscripted film space\, the various stages of the process to bring on a producer\, elements and materials you should prepare before approaching a producer\, what you can expect in terms of producer compensation\, and how to maintain long-term\, healthy relationships with producers. Hear from seasoned producers about how they find projects and what qualities they value in their collaborators.
