What is an Executive Producer – How It Works and How You Find Them! with Jenny Raskin

We recognize this title as a top position, including the presentation credits of any film, but what is their role? Do they raise the money, invest in, or put up the financing of film, or all of the above? Will some EPs shop the project? Do they own the copyright? We’ve invited Impact Partners’ Executive Director Jenny Raskin, also a multi-award-winning Executive Producer (AFTERSHOCK, US KIDS, PROCESSION), who will break down and define the many things an Executive Producer does, is, and can be. We will discuss how to find them and work with them successfully.
