1) Don’t be afraid to give an opinion or come up with an idea. Agencies engage with directors to hear their thoughts and not just have our ideas said in your words. The production company you sign with should represent directors with work you wish was yours. That means they’ll know how to execute that work and be able to procure that kind of work for you.
2) -Every project is an opportunity to learn and meet people, so be open to taking on anything.
-Being a producer is not a “party of one” job. The work we do is collaborative and a team effort, so engage the creatives, production companies, directors, EPs, account team and client and really listen to what everyone has to say. Then you can present options and together make the best decision.
-Always stop to think about what you’re saying or writing. Not knowing the answer isn’t bad – sometimes saying “let me find out” is the best answer.
