A Budding Movie Producer- Early Days

I wasn’t sure what woke me up, rain or my grandiose idea to become a movie producer.

The idea of becoming a producer become more and more appealing considering that people will look at anything on the screen rather than each other. Great business opportunity.

I am reading books, a lot of books ‘How to make your first movie and avoid making a mistake. Scary but fascinating world! I am up for it .

Good thing about reading those books is that one can form opinions without having to get the facts. But I have to get my hands dirty with facts if I want to produce movies.

My first lesson I learned - the most important part in film making is played by writers but producer’s job is to do everything in their power from keep them from finding out.

I am on my mission. I need to find ‘that’ script that everybody will want it. Do I know what I am looking for. I don’t have a clue but I will play a field.

I’ve read eight scripts and frankly got depressed. I start realizing that for some writers, writing is a vocation of unhappiness and I am not prepared to join. Let’s look for some uplifting subject. Comedy!

After a long meeting with a comedy writer from LA, I was elevated. He was passionate, it was infectious. I can’t wait to read the script.

Oh dear! Read the comedy script. Nothing was funny. Comedy script based in California. Now I need to surprise a scriptwriter by informing him what I think of his screenplay.

Have done it. Have said to writer what I thought about his script. I used all my diplomacy skills to say ‘no’ in such a way that it sounds like ‘yes’.

By now, I’ve learnt a few lessons. Let do things right this time. I will option a book and hire a writer to adopt into a screenplay. Love the idea!

I’ve found a book. You know the kind of book that everybody is assumed to have read and often think they have. This is what I been waiting for.

My important day is approaching. My first meeting with financiers interested to finance my first project. Can’t get better than that except….

My agent called to say that he cannot join, but hey here’s uplifting thought - he is convinced I can handle meeting myself. Sure I can! I am a driver, he is only a passenger. He can stop and get out but I need to drive my car to my destination.

Had a meeting with six men. Decision maker and five ‘yes’ man. My seat was reserved. I sat in the middle of the room, having three men on my left and three men on my right made me warm. Meeting conclusion: game of intimidation.
