Changing The Rules Of The Game
The process of producing television has
changed in recent years. Not only is it more complex with executives requesting
more involvement in various aspects of the shows, but the business is
increasingly difficult. An independent producer has enough of a tough time
selling, executing and pushing his or her product. A lot of one's excitement and
joy in producing television comes from the entrepreneurial aspect -- the belief
that in the end one may own at least a piece of something with long range fiscal
potential. When the carrot is removed, the rules of the game change markedly and
I believe, in the end, the process and the producer suffer.
