This episode of A Filmmaker’s Journey is with producer, executive producer, and line producer Scott Hinckley.
Scott has spent the last 20 years working his way through the film industry, starting as a PA and building his career into producing feature films that are now being seen at a much higher level.
We get into what a producer actually does, how films come together behind the scenes, and the reality of trying to execute big ideas without a Hollywood budget.
He also breaks down stories from Train Dreams (now on Netflix), including what it took to pull off massive scenes in the middle of nowhere with limited time, limited money, and a ton of pressure.
This is one of those episodes that really shows what the long game in filmmaking looks like.
