A LOOK INSIDE THE GUIDECHEAT TIPS

PRODUCER 1.BE THE PRODUCER, NOT THE DIRECTOR — because the buck stops with

the Producer 2.THE ONE AND ONLY — appreciate and respect the screenwriter. He created

the “one and only” property the whole movie is build on, the screenplay. It’s all about the script, never forget that.

3.GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING — because people like to forget what they’ve agreed to

4.LOCK THE SCREENPLAY — because if you don’t, you end up with a mess and out of control budget, schedule, and principal photography

5.BREAK IT DOWN — breaking down the script is the cheapest time you’ll spend during the whole movie. Be meticulous because if you don’t you’ll pay for it big time

6.SPEND YOUR TIME IN SCHEDULING — just like breaking down the script, it’s the cheapest time during production
