"Producing for me carries a huge responsibility, to a story's subjects, to a film's financiers, to the director and the entire production team. As such I give every film a pound of my flesh, I leave no stone unturned and I make it my absolute business to ensure the film is truthful, authentic and has the maximum chance of playing to as many people as possible."
– John Battsek, Producer of BOBI WINE: THE PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT and THE DEEPEST BREATH

"...The movie had a bidding war, we sold it to Sony, and the movie went on to make $75 million on our $1 million budget. So it was the most incredible version of optimism coming true. It spawned some sequels, and it kind of really cemented for me that it is true. You have to be an eternal optimist if you want to have a shot at being a producer."
– Sev Ohanian, Producer of SINNERS and SEARCHING

The California Film Commission (CFC) holds monthly internal CFC Learns sessions - an opportunity for us to learn from advocates and organizations throughout the industry. Recently we were joined by Susan Sprung, CEO of the Producers Guild of America (PGA), and Malia Arrington and Lupe Arellanes from the Hollywood Commission.

Susan, Malia, and Lupe spoke to the CFC about resources available for independent productions looking to create a safer workplace and prevent harassment. These resources include The Hollywood Commission's Respect on Set, a first-of-its-kind, free online resource designed to help independent and low-budget film and television productions meet their anti-harassment responsibilities with confidence. The PGA also offers Set Etiquette Training to help independent producers establish clear standards of respect before cameras roll.

These resources provide guidance and best practices to help keep people safe and respected at work. The websites for Respect on Set and Set Etiquette Training are both listed on the Filmmaker & Production Resources table on our website.

“One of the best lessons I have learned as a producer is managing relationships. I can bring talent out of that dressing room whether they are mad, happy, glad or sad mainly because I have learned the art of connecting with talent.”

"Just recently I was on a production where we were hit with two major storms, back to back. The excessive amount of rain not only stopped us from filming outdoors for many days - but also prevented us from accessing four of our exterior sets for many weeks due to impassibilty of the location and sets being underwater and unshootable. The film took place virtually outside so this presented multiple challenges. Movie making is a daily puzzle at the best of times and this shoot was like finishing the puzzle while missing pieces. Through creativity and tenacity we finished the shoot one day over (a day we needed to shut down completely due to the storm)."
– Rob Cowan, Producer of AQUAMAN and THE CONJURING
