The art of producing is no easy task. Overseeing the whole production from beginning to end, ensuring everyone understands the task at hand, scripting, editing, managing the writing, and above all being strict with their time and financial management.
People usually don’t talk about the behind-the-scenes or production aspects of the film since the spotlight is mainly on the actors. But of course. Producers can make or break the film. It is a fact that harmony between the producer, director, and the rest of the crew is necessary for the film to come together.
Because of the strict and authoritative nature of the job that can oftentimes get overwhelming, we don’t see a lot of young people in this power. But we have these young people proving that they don’t need to have thirty years in the industry if they have the skills.
