There has been such a black cloud over the job of Studio Producers in the recent years, so we decided to bring on a rainbow and give you a peak behind the Hollywood curtain of studio producer Carol Baum, a fixture in the industry with credits like "Father of the Bride," who shares a wealth of knowledge from her latest book, reflecting on her 34-film journey and imparting lessons on maintaining the soul of original material.
Carol speaks on behalf of all movie and television producers in her latest book, "Creative Producing" and gives no nonsense advice for long term success in Hollywod and beyond. In fact, her book is a perfect companion to my book "An Insider's Secret: Mastering the Hollywood Path" as she takes us down memory lane on the path from script to screen of legendary and iconic movies.
Carol opens up about the necessity of fostering relationships, recognizing promising projects, and the virtue of professional courtesy in an environment where your next big break could be just one conversation away. We also discuss the significance of mentorship, preparing the next generation for the realities of the entertainment landscape.
Drawing from both our personal experiences and industry anecdotes, we highlight the importance of having a creative confidant to share both triumphs and setbacks.
