Why The Indie Film Industry Needs Producers

Ted Hope publicó en su blog un post que hablaba del peligro que supondría que la industria cinematográfica se olvidara del valioso trabajo que hacen los producers.

A continuación os "pego" el listado de las aportaciones que según Ted Hope hacen los producers:

1. Producers bring new investors into the business, both in terms of sourcing them, and structuring deals that make sense from an investors’ perspective
2. Producers look out for investors’ needs (substantially more than distributors do), as Producers think long term and need private equity to stay in the game.
3. Producers provide development supervision to get the scripts right — and they usually get a lot more writing done without additional costs — because the authors know they are doing it to get the best movie made, and not just to justify their jobs.
4. Producers inspire talent to embrace work for affordable yet just rates — because everyone knows that the producer is doing also for the love but for a whole lot longer.
5. Producers counter-balance industry pressure to increase costs and keep movies’ budgets at levels that make sense — which is good for the industry.
6. Producers innovate — be it in the search to deliver a better film or to control costs, innovation is in their blood.
7. Producers develop talent and take the chances on emerging artists.
8. Producers keep in touch with the audience, weighing where their tastes and habits are.
9. Producers bring content, talent, technology, audiences, investors together.
10. Producers help show the business and the culture where they might aspire to be going.
