Welcome to my Production Diary

I often get asked, "What does a producer do?" Obviously, I produce. Mostly, this looks like me sitting in front of my Mac at Starbucks looking worried or deep in thought.
This blog should help you understand better what a producer does, as I chronicle my adventures on and off set.

When I'm not producing...

I'm still producing.

I went on "vacation" last week. My dad, some friends, and I went backpacking for 5 days and climbed Mt. Whitney.
However, while I was waiting for the rest of our party to arrive in Lone Pine, CA to get our wilderness permits, I wandered in to the Beverly and Jim Rodgers Museum of Lone Pine Film History. Not only did I get a feel for what movies had been shot in the area (everything from The Lone Ranger TV series to all four Tremors movies, to scenes in Ironman) but I also met with the Lone Pine film commissioner, Chris Langley.
My meeting with Chris was a great chance to get the inside scoop on resources in the area both for crew and locations. We were also able to talk about several projects that I am developing and what resources Lone Pine might be able to offer.
Long story short, you never know what opportunities may present themselves, so ALWAYS be ready to network.
