Producing creative producers. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacPherson, R. (2010). Producing creative producers. In Film Education: Traditions and Innovations (46-52)

In most if not all national contexts the work of the ‘creative producer’ is essential to both the art and business of filmmaking. Yet the creative producer’s role is perhaps the hardest, if not impossible, to properly reproduce in the film school co... Read More about Producing creative producers..
