I know from my own film-making projects and animations that the role of producer is the starting point to any project.
When I’m thinking of an idea for a film like my music video projects I may be writing the script and visualising the flow of images appropriate to the mood of the song. That’s my writer’s hat and my storyboard artist hat. When I drive the project and push for things to happen, when I coordinate people on the team to hit time frames and deadlines, then I’m the producer. Producers have the same bumper sticker as engineers ‘They make things happen!’ Working with JOTS producer David Steinhoff has been to see a producer do exactly that. Making it happen and pushing the project forward. Keep pushing us David!
