Richard Brooks- Producer/Manager

Imagine you have two meetings set up — with a producer and then with a manager. What would you say and do differently based upon this model?

Answer two questions:

1. How will you present yourself and your project to the producer?

I will make sure my script is as tight as can be. Understand the story, the characters and roles that will attract talent, and formulate an idea of the possible budget and areas I can enhance or modify in order to manage the cost to produce from the story angle. I will highlight the screenplay’s similarities to other successful movies and identity the niche the movie will fill once produced.

2. How will you present yourself and your project to the manager?

To the manager, I will present my best finished scripts and any ideas for other stories I have that we can develop into pitches to sell. I will express my work ethic and determination to succeed as a screenwriter and highlight my past writing successes and network of contacts throughout the industry.

What I learned today is the different focus of the potential producer vs. the potential manager and how they are focused on different areas and needs from the writer and the script. I learned the importance of being flexible with the script and willing to rewrite upon request.

Richard Brooks. Marketable component

Screenplay has similarities to a box-office success. And a great role for a bankable actor.

Richard’s Project and Market

1) Genre: Romantic drama

Title: Careless Whispers

Logline: When an ambitious novelist embarks on a secluded writing retreat, she finds herself drawn to a mysterious and enigmatic artist. As they explore a passionate and complex relationship, they must navigate the dynamics of power, vulnerability, and the unexpected challenges that threaten to tear them apart. In a journey of self-discovery, they must confront their deepest fears and insecurities to find redemption and a love that transcends boundaries.

What I believe is attractive about my story is its BDSM elements and the novel being written throughout the story

I may target studios and producers first

In Lesson 1 I learned the difference between a logline and the concept.

Hi,
