This may seem like an overwhelming task, but every country will have a different approach to distribution and their profit margin, and therefore should be treated on an individual bases. If done correctly it is possible that foreign distribution could ultimately account for a majority of the films' profits. Gorham Kindem, writer of The moving image , sums up the role of the producer in a few simple words. Producers are the film industries' building blocks. They are always thinking and trying to sell a product, and always looking for that one idea, that one script which strikes a chord.
Many producers begin their career as somebody's assistant.
Others come from other areas of the industry, such as directing, acting, managing, law, etc. Others start out with simply a dream of being in the industry and money they received from family or another source. In any case, to be a producer means you must have confidence, perseverance and a willingness to give your all to the project. The producer is the one who is there before the beginning and after the end. All rights reserved.
