Specifically, the courses in this concentration teach filmmakers how to merge the creative and business skills necessary to find material, conduct research, network, write, build creative teams, interact with creative and technical personnel, negotiate, finance and distribute creative products in ways appropriate to the content and approach of each project.
Producers are self-motivated.
Producing students should decide early in their academic careers to pursue projects to produce through a variety of practicum courses. Your ability to make genuine contacts begins the day you walk in the door. You should always be on the look out for people with whom you wish to collaborate. You can't learn how to produce without doing it. For those students interested in studio producing, we have created the Semester in Los Angeles program.
