Focusing on development and creative production, this Meet the Experts session will be an open conversation on the producer’s role in shaping director-driven and auteur projects. The conversation will explore how development fits into a producer’s daily practice, the dynamics between director-led and producer-initiated projects, and the realities of scouting, packaging, and supporting creative ideas. The session will also look at the practical and creative considerations of working with adaptations versus original material.
