David Feld and Shawn Obrien are Hollywood producers. The good kind. Not the greedy, preventing actors from making a living wage and stealing their likeness to be later used by AI to lower their bottom line kind. Their work includes doing things like making sure money is accounted for, marketing is handled, crew are secured and productions have what they need to move forward, and purchasing birthday cakes, among many other things. David and Shawn join us to talk about their early lives in Arizona and Connecticut respectively and how they ended up in the industry. They also clear up a lot of technical and industry terms…on their own…without being asked…like teachers. Except Best Boy and Key Grip. They wouldn’t tell us what those were. Listen to find out why!
