writer’s mind, but wherever it comes from, it’s the producer who needs convincing The producer is the businessman who finds the money to make the film If you’ve got an idea for the next blockbuster, you need to find somebody who is willing to make your film The producer will then organize the budget and decide how much it worth spending on the film Paragraph The producer will decide who is going
