Producing Behing The Silver Screen A Mod - Softcover
Producers raise money and supervise development, they procure a script or book or 'pre-sold property' (like Harry Potter or Batman) & more. This book is all about what producers have actually done during Hollywood's history, delving into the careers of the exemplary figures, from Irving Thalberg to the multiple co-producers of 7 Years a Slave. This is also a great introduction to the ways in which the Hollywood industry works as a business; producers are at the money, business end and their work runs through the entire process of getting a movie onto the screen - or failing to do so.

Review:
"This valuable resource will benefit a wide range of film students and scholars. Highly recommended for fans of Hollywood history and those with an interest in the 'business' side of creativity." (Library Journal)
"This addition to the 'Behind the Silver Screen' series brings together seven film scholars whose deft use of history and narrative reveal practical realities behind the amorphous, enigmatic role of the film producer in the US." (CHOICE)
"From Samuel Arkoff to Adolph Zukor, Producing gives us a model for examining this most misunderstood position in the movie hierarchy, and for analyzing the history and historiography of executive labor in Hollywood." (Eric Smoodin author of Regarding Frank Capra)
"Producing is an invaluable contribution to film studies – and to American film history – that sheds some serious light on the single most undervalued and misunderstood role in Hollywood filmmaking." (Thomas Schatz author of The Genius of the System)

Of all the job titles in the screen credits, 'producer' is the most amorphous, partly because these people are uniquely involved in several aspects of a movie project at once, partly because there are so many different kinds: businesswomen and businessmen producers, writer, director, film star producers & executive producers.
