Program Description
Get your creative project off the ground and into the marketplace. It is the producer’s vision that makes him or her as an artist. A producer with a firm knowledge of the craft, a discerning eye for material, fundraising ability, a grasp of the law, cash flow, people and ethics, is rare. Through core and elective courses, you will learn about this art form and business profession, and what it takes to complete a creative product in the entertainment and media industries.
