I love this channel's ability to put these industry people in front of us in comfort so they can teach us about their experiences. I also love the host being able to both let them go as long as they want, but still asking them pertinent questions or making remarks.
"Producers Don't Want To Read Your Screenplay..." Automatically it made me think: "If motion graphics or storyboards were sent instead of a script, what would happen? Or a film reel pitching the whole idea?". Would they ditch it quicker than a script because it takes more time to analyze? I don't know. If I see everybody failing the pitching process, I'll think of a different presentation. Producers are visual animals like everyone else... right?
I really got a lot out of this interview. Straight forward, but also hopeful. We didn't get a magic recipe, but we did get a clear path - that's very much appreciated.
I love his directness and candor! I watched the trailer for 1BR and I see what he means by that it's got all these "trailer moments". I like that it promises you what you're going to feel when you watch it, without necessarily revealing all the mechanisms by which it will leverage those feelings out of you.
If originality is so important, why do so many 'success clones' of mediocre films get funded while truly nuts yet original scripts rarely go the whole distance? Odd. What else truly matters for a unique script to move forward? Toy sale options?
I hate when people say, "I make genre films." Of course you do. What film that's worth watching is part of a genre? It's the most annoying and vague thing someone can say. Tarantino does it all the time.
Here are the take-away messages I got: * Get in, get out * Who wants to see this movie? * How are we going to market this movie? * Google everyone (helps avoid bad people) * If I say I am going to read it, I will * I read a script a day * I'm into networking * Sundance = 500 meetings without having to drive * It became even more in the edit * Trailer moments * She was key to the whole thing * We knew the ending was really important * vVllians (though misguided) think they are doing right * Make it original or a new spin (or 'not been done in a long time') * don't turn in anything that is halfway done If Try Rising Thanks for another superb interview!!!!!
A lot of folks in the comments here complaining need to check themselves. This was a fantastic interview full of valuable insights from a producer we’d all be so lucky to have even read our scripts. He made a highly rated movie, which is a feat unto itself. He knows things. Pay attention and maybe you’ll learn some of it.
I think the one thing a lot of potential screenwriters want to know is how to get representation. It seems like if you don't already know someone in that business you're SOL.
He's the guy who produced a movie with limited resources and money and ended up getting the movie on Netflix where it was #1 for 8 days. Many who visit this channel would love to have that kind of success with their first feature film.

Here's one director's experience with sizzle reels - ruclips.net/video/FILfMqnH9g8/видео.html (helped him get his first feature made)
@@filmcourage Awesome! I'll check it out. Thank you!
@Amelia PC I was just thinking the same!

This one kind of wandered around. What were the 3 things? Be original, 90 pages, and don't buy a car that breaks down??

He meant which scripts fly for HIM. Not what gets made in general
And not everything original is good either, some is just random nonsense
@@corpsefoot758 not to mention there's a lot more variety than people think
@@corpsefoot758 most original stuff is nonsense, otherwise everyone would be a screenwriter lol

* I'm into networking
* Sundance = 500 meetings without having to drive
* It became even more in the edit
* Trailer moments
* She was key to the whole thing
* We knew the ending was really important

Thanks for another superb interview!!!!!
Really enjoy this video. This guy seems like the type of producer who would could turn a rejection into a true learning process. I like his candor.
Thanks yet another grt vdo
Enjoyed this. Thank you.

We would be lucky but he would also be lucky to read a great script. A lot of these people are nothing without something to produce.
@@jimjo8541 yes, part of his job is to find great scripts. Not sure i understand you’re point tho.
Very helpful!
Karen the VLADTV of the film world 😂💛
Thanks! ❤️
This video was subjective and interesting to watch ❤ thanks
It's all subjective if you ask me. Different perspectives. I guess other things are fractured in as well.
True😂😂 we hate reading,I think it shld be short like a tik tok video

He's the guy who produced a movie with limited resources and money and ended up getting the movie on Netflix where it was #1 for 8 days. Many who visit this channel would love to have that kind of success with their first feature film.
