What Producers Want?


Here area my findings..
  • Producers always, always looking for the hook
  • Producers looking for big idea, universal/wide appeal, driven by great characters 
  • Each produces have own background and interest - this to lead various genre. 
  • Some maybe like original story, and maybe some like to experiment with adaptation (from a novel or just from an article he/she just read, for example).
  • There area producer with passion/interest (ie. science, history, politic-drama, etc.) or maybe just plain business (following the trend and make money -- like it's a supply-demand kinda business? Really?)
  • Most producers already have several idea in their head.
  • Decision could be from one producer or maybe more.
  • Making big decision - take the script to big screen or, just to local tv drama channel instead.
  • Producers already have a list of screenwriters to work with and love.
  • Producers don't really know about scriptwriting (technically) as they always refer to proposal and synopsis to evaluate


Producers expectation from writers
  • capability to write particular genre
  • meeting and discussion among screenwriter/producer/crew - sharing idea
  • writer with his/her own style, taste and maybe concern
  • into the near of present tense, shorten the descriptions, and externalize/express visuals
  • deliver the material as planned
  • flexible in changing/re-write script
