The Story of Producer's POV
In the early stages of everyone's career, several stumbling blocks arise. Specifically for writers, directors, and producers of tomorrow, funding, connections, and well-crafted mentorship appear to be three of the most significant challenges that hinder the development of their craft and their ability to earn a stable living and achieve career progression.
With more than a decade of experience and having traversed the scene of New and Emerging creatives, been on many of the courses, workshops and film labs and ourselves, and have made mistakes we can all learn from along with some best practices to implement, Producer's POV is your chance to get face to face with a producer who can taylor meetings to your exact needs and offer you the help and support that so many find it hard to get.
Whether you have attended film school, university, or have been making shorts on your own, or have a feature idea and the determination to get it in front of the right people, but receive no responses to repeated emails. Producer's POV is your chance to get in front of a working producer and get advice and guidance.
Along with the services we provide, clients also have the opportunity to pitch their projects to us at various stages of production, in all forms, including Shorts, Features, Factual, and Fiction. We are ideally looking to invest in projects that have a clear market position or that develop talent that we can nurture for years to come.
