How to Identify, Secure and Build a Relationship with a Great Producer for Your Film Project - with Case Studies (Sundance, SXSW, Spirit Awards)

Learn how you can connect with the right producer to help move your project forward from an exec who has worked with Hulu and had multiple films at Sundance!

PLUS! Get exclusive case studies from Rachel's work on DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL, SWISS ARMY MAN, and BEING FRANK!

Finding the right producer is pivotal to getting your project made, and yet building a relationship with an experienced producer can be one of the biggest challenges writers and filmmakers face. 

Even with a great script and a stacked cast, many producers who can move the needle forward on a project are often in great demand. Securing a meaningful producer means you have someone on your team who can pull the strings, make the offers, and put the puzzle pieces of the project together.

The good news is we have Rachel Crouch, the Director of Development at Cold Iron Pictures, a production/financing company that has most recently produced BEING FRANK starring comedian Jim Gaffigan and Anna Gunn here to help you navigate this tricky landscape. Previously Cold Iron produced SWISS ARMY MAN starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano, as well as Marielle Heller’s directorial debut DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL starring Bel Powley, Kristen Wiig, and Alexander Skarsgård, both of which premiered at Sundance Film Festival. They also produced the Sundance hit the (UNTITLED) AMAZING JOHNATHAN DOCUMENTARY, which premiered in the US Documentary Competition section and is available on Hulu. Rachel has been involved in every step of producing these films and has helped launch the careers of the talent involved with them.

In this exclusive Stage 32 on-demand webinar Rachel will walk you through the nuts and bolts of finding the right producer and forming a great working relationship with him or her. 

PLUS! Rachel will provide you with exclusive case studies from her own background to illustrate how the producer-talent relationship helped bring the film to life. Downloads include case studies from:

• Independent Spirit Award winning DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL

• Sundance winning SWISS ARMY MAN

• SXSW nominated BEING FRANK
