Curating Projects and Building a Producing Identity

Building a Slate with Intention

How does a producer cultivate a distinct creative identity while building a sustainable career in an increasingly unstable marketplace? This conversation explores how producers curate projects, foster long-term creative relationships, and shape a slate that balances artistic ambition with the practical realities of financing, packaging, and distribution.

Bringing together three producers with complementary perspectives on the craft and business of producing, the session will examine the choices that shape a career over time. Mollye Asher is known for championing distinctive auteur voices and long-term creative collaborations, Anne Carey for building acclaimed film and television slates alongside some of the industry’s most distinctive storytellers, and Greg Shapiro for his extensive experience in international co-productions, financing, and navigating the evolving realities of the global independent film market.
