Meaning if a producer reads your script and likes it, they also need to feel comfortable that they can help you make your movie for a budget that's smaller than THE AVENGERS. Writers don't always realize that what they write on the page directly translates to how much money it will cost and how long it will take to shoot. Things like locations, genre, number of scenes and number of characters can absolutely make or break whether your movie can get produced and whether you can get the partner you're looking for to sign on. It's important for writers to understand how producers think when reading scripts and how you can adjust your own script without sacrificing your voice or quality to make the project more achievable to actually put together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMulti Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and author Shane Stanley has worked in almost every capacity on and off the set with hit shows like ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT and SEINFELD and producing films like Sony Pictures’ GRIDIRON GANG a #1 box office hit starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. \u003c\/strong\u003eFor three years, Shane was Vice President of\u003cstrong\u003e Sheen\/Michaels Entertainment \u003c\/strong\u003ewhere he produced several motion pictures starring\u003cstrong\u003e Marlon Brando, Mira Sorvino, Thomas Hayden Church, Donald Sutherland, Marisa Tomei, Sean Penn, John Travolta, and Charlie and Martin Sheen. \u003c\/strong\u003eShane recently released his book \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat You Don’t Learn In Film School\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e, \u003c\/strong\u003ewhich covers filmmaking from concept to delivery and has already landed on required reading lists at several universities across the country.
