Some Thoughts on Producing a Short Film in Ireland
1B
“one egg – one basket”
i.e every little thing is an opportunity for failure or success
What does a producer actually do on a low budget short film?
A producer allows the director to realise the script.
He or she will accept the responsibility of making or not making the script.
He or she will be realistic when the director is idealistic.
He or she will be idealistic when the director is realistic.
The director is affected by every decision the producer makes, and the producer is affected by
every decision the director makes.
It all comes down to one word – trust.
