Note from the Author..
|
I want to answer for you that often asked question; what does a producer really do? I’m going to take you along with me as a hypothetical partner.
We’ll produce a show together, working at every step that goes into creating a TV series, and getting its episodes onto the air. Along the way, I’ll share some reminiscences that are by turns funny or frightening. Your head might spin ... your stomach might churn ... you might never watch TV quite the same way again. But I’m sure that when the ride is over, you’ll wish you could get back in line to take it again! You will know what it is like to be THE SHOW RUNNER. |
