This book is about what it takes to be a producer, the person responsible for getting a project off the ground and seeing it through to a conclusion sometimes years after things got started. For this reason, a thing often said about producers is that they are ?first in and last out?, meaning they are there at the start of a film or television series and still there when everyone else has gone on to their next project. Written by two highly experienced television and film producers, this is the ultimate guide to navigating the world of film and television production in the UK ? with lessons for anyone working or wanting to work in these industries across the world.

The book covers all types of television and film production, including drama, documentary, entertainment, comedy and children's programming. Through its step-by-step breakdowns of industry practices, first-hand insights and unique checklists, it gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to succeed in these competitive fields. In addition, each section presents a deep dive into the mysteries of getting into the industry and useful infographics on key elements of the producing process.

Directed towards students, recent graduates or seasoned professionals looking to change direction, this book will help readers break into film and television industries or take their career to the next level.

?At last a book that sets out what a producer does and gives out practical, sensible advice on how to find a route into producing for film and TV. Most people don?t know what a producer does, and obviously, there are many different kinds of producers, so it?s great to have a book to point people towards that and which explores the differences and provides something of a manual for the role. I really enjoyed reading it!?
