Want to be a film producer? Here's the essence of it.

Dov Simmons once brilliantly summed it up in nine words: "I have multiple projects in various stages of development."

What does that mean? It means you're always working on something.

It could be a budding idea, a script, a film in production, or even post-production. The essence is to always have something brewing.

Think about it. If you've got an idea for a comedy and you're actively thinking about it, you're already a film producer. It's all about intention.

Consider another profession, like an auto mechanic. Don't wait until you've fixed 10 cars to call yourself one. The moment you decide to learn and start working on cars, you're on that path. Similarly, with producing, you don't need to wait until your film is on Netflix to call yourself a producer. Start now.

The development stage, where you're piecing a script together, is crucial. Focus on your end goal, whether a documentary, TV series, or movie. Don't wait for the finish line to claim your title.

If it helps, get a business card labeling you as a producer. Or even a nameplate! Believe in yourself and your vision. As Wayne Dyer said, "You have to believe it to see it."

Of course, the specifics of film production are more detailed than can be covered in a short video. But the journey starts with a step. To dive deeper, explore more resources like Filmmaking Stuff or www.filmmakingstuffhq.com.

Remember, declare yourself a producer, take steps towards your goal, and you're in the game. Want more insights? Grab the free PDF linked below.
