The lion's share of top producers started as someone’s assistant.
And even if you are more interested in the acting side of things, this workshop will give you valuable insider information you won’t find elsewhere.
In our workshop, we’re sitting down with someone who has made this journey: Mark Berger, President of Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell’s production company.
Mark’s path is really interesting. He went to school for acting, and then worked as an assistant for Gersh, and over the next decade, worked his way through various assistant positions.
In the workshop, he’ll map out the strategies he used to maximize his time as an assistant (he told me today that he still considers himself one of the top assistants of all time), which allowed him to become a full producer.
Sam Rockwell’s Play Hooky Productions signed a TV first-look deal with MGM/UA. Recently, they produced the hit play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea with Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott.
Please note: this workshop is likely to be super popular, and there are limited places.
