You don't need school at all to be good at any form of art, especially story telling. You just need the desire to learn and access to knowledge. School is just one way out of many to make it happen.
It is such a pleasure to listen to someone with clear thoughts, and who can also present them clearly! The best parts for me were about teaching his children to tell a full-fledged story at the end of the day, and also that a film artist needs a liberal arts education, and not merely the technical knowledge. It’s the wealth of the inner world that makes all the difference in any art, and tech knowledge without it is as lethal as an AI machine gone rogue! 😂
unquestionably, an important role in the process but I imagine that the creatives in the group would prefer to delimit the EP role as someone who writes the fat cheque and claps politely at the premiere.
Without a doubt. It goes both ways though. Some executive producers are the legitimate visionaries behind a film that want the creatives to spend their time making and some creatives have the vision and just want the check
Stanley M Brooks is hiding a great deal as to what an executive producer really does . I can say in one sentence , what Stanley is saying in this long interview and that is ; An executive producer wears two hats , a) a business finance hat b) an artists hat , that is it. What comes with a n b is a long term discussion . Mr Brooks like so many other film makers in Hollywood (which so many of them are extremly insicure ) do not share key things that others need to know .

Story is everything and well told will attract all the resources you can effectively deploy.
Alfred Hitchcock said "you need three things to make a movie, story, story & story".
In your next interview, will you ask the interviewee if starting out development be a good way to becoming director? Thanks.
The worst mistake an EP can make is to hire the wrong director.
For sure!
What did you learn from this video?
If an executive producer should know more about money than story.
That an executive producer is a sales person with an artistic flare. He’s also an accountant and a motivator/support person for the rest of the crew.

A liberal arts education is all well and good, but in my neck of the woods it gets you a job at McDonalds.
