BoF #35 – Producing Films With Constraints with Dan Bekerman
Welcome back to Business of Film, episode 35. This week we are joined by Producer Dan Bekerman. Dan has an amazing and insightful way of thinking of film and producing that is bound to help you. I’ve known Dan for nearly a decade now. And what I love about Dan is his ability to approach a project with an eye toward getting the most onto the screen with limited resources. And the fact is that anytime you do a project, there are always limited resources. There’s never enough. Which means, the information in this podcast is scalable. Be it a micro-budget project, a million or under or even $5 million and up, there’s some really cool insights and take aways which are applicable to your project. Guaranteed. More to the point, Dan’s a great guy. So I hope you enjoy this episode. Here’s some of the cool things we talked about: – The touchstone ideas of what makes a project viable. – Working with sub-million dollar constraints. – How to keep your on-set “footprint” small – this is really cool stuff! – The dividing line of indie film. – 3 awesome ways to set yourself and your project apart.
