Ebook: Creative Producing : A Pitch-to-Picture Guide to Movie Development

Go behind the scenes with the producer of Father of the Bride to learn all the skills necessary to be a top Hollywood producer

As former co-president of Dolly Parton and Sandy Gallin's production company, Sandollar, and as a successful independent producer, Carol Baum is an expert in the art of film production. Creative Producing provides a crash course in the often-misunderstood producer's role and the many skills needed to survive and thrive in Hollywood. Readers receive a master class in production––from pitching, script development, and packaging, to working with stars, directors, and difficult executives.

In her years in the film industry, Carol has worked with many Hollywood legends: from Dolly Parton to Barbra Streisand, to Kieran Culkin and Zendaya, from Robert De Niro to Jake Gyllenhaal, to off screen legends like super agent Sue Mengers and White Lotus creator Mike White.

Enhanced with stories from Baum's career, Creative Producing offers a peek behind-the-scenes to give film students, cinephiles, aspiring executives, and industry insiders a must-have guide to understanding film development from successful pitch to hit picture.
