Masterclass For better or worse: The relationship between director and producer

Masterclass by Christian Popp| Producer & documentary film consultant| YAMI 2| France
Director and producer are forming a strange couple. They work together on the same film, often for many years. But do they really have “the same film” in mind? Do they have the same vision? Beyond this basic question, fact is, that the jobs of a producer and of a director are very different. Lack of knowledge about each other’s tasks, needs, contrains, (financial) worries, scheduling conflicts and overall strategy for the project, often lead to misunderstandings and crisis. This session’s attempt is to led out the foundation of a constructive, transparent and sane collaboration between director, producer and the extended creative and production team.
