The Producer's Playbook Workshop

More than just a logistics coordinator, Producers are the backbone of any film production: ensuring everyone is set up for success, understanding the project's value, and advocating for quality at every stage of the process to ensure the best possible final product.

Whether you are just beginning your career in the Production Department or you’re looking to level-up your practices as a working Producer, this workshop is designed to cover all the skills, tools, and philosophies to help you elevate your role.

While many workshop experiences focus on independent film or creative producer roles, this workshop focuses on practical production management tools and applying high levels of production standards to the commercial & branded content space for the everyday working Producer.

Taught by Oxenfree Film & Motion’s Executive Producer, Arthur Goodman and Head of Production, Hannah Shewbart, this workshop provides a comprehensive guide to elevating production practices to become the ultimate guide of any film project.
