Indie Film Craft Ep. 4 | How to Make Your Script Undeniable to an Indie Producer (ft. Julie Waters)

Join TSL Workshops: tslworkshops.circle.so

Every writer dreams of getting their script into the right hands, but what actually makes a producer want to champion your project?

This week Jeff sits down with indie producer Julie Waters, who not only explains how to craft a script that feels undeniable but also demystifies the roles of networks, studios, production companies, and producers. She breaks down who’s really buying, who’s paying, and who you’re actually meeting with when you pitch.

If you’re trying to figure out how to move from “great script” to must-make project — and want a clear map of how the business works — this episode is for you.
