Film critic, presenter and debut producer Jason Solomons talks to six leading producers working in film and high-end television, to gain insights into their careers and experiences in the field of screen producing.
sponsored by Production Service Network the six-episode series features interviews with Academy Award® and BAFTA-winner Simon Chinn, BAFTA-winner and Academy Award® nominee Malte Grunert, Alexandra Derbyshire, Keith Beauchamp, Academy Award® and BAFTA-winner Iain Canning with fellow See-Saw Films producer Joanna Laurie and Yvonne Isimeme Ibazebo.
Jason Solomons says: “I am thrilled to be working with the PGGB on another season of Meet The Producer. As I discovered in the first shows, there are so many ways of producing and I can’t wait to find out more approaches to the art, craft and business of it.
“As my own experience producing my first films progresses, I’m looking forward to learning some more ‘tricks of the trade’, getting some practical ‘next steps’ advice and hearing about the multitude of experiences my guests have had bringing their stories to screen.
“I’m particularly excited to be meeting the producers during the buzz of awards season so I’ll be finding out how a producer navigate the highs and lows of that particular journey. You never know when it could happen to you!”
Lyndsay Duthie, PGGB CEO says: “As the industry gears up for next week’s Oscars®, our new season of Meet the Producer sponsored by PSN offers listeners another rare chance to delve deep into what this multi-faceted and often complex role entails.
“Our incredible line-up features established producing talent with multiple awards to their names and others who are steadily gaining in profile due to their outstanding work; including of course Malte Grunert, the producer behind one of this year’s biggest awards season successes, who is on the cusp of winning what could be his first Academy Award®.”
Michael Moffett, Founder of Production Service Network says: “The awards season buzz is contagious. At PSN, we’re excited to know that select producers of this past year’s standout work relied on the local film support of our exclusive Partner service companies when filming abroad.
“Our collaborations with filmmakers depend on trust that is often built on the peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing that is the cornerstone of The Production Guild’s Meet the Producer podcast. So, we invite one and all to listen in for valuable insights from the producers featured in season two.”
