Producer and screenwriter prepares a film pitch, and finds financial support.
The film is designed and planned. Budgets are set, cast and crew are hired, locations are selected, and sets are built.

There isn’t much difference between a great movie and a bad movie as far as the whole manufacturing process goes.
The difference is that, in a bad movie, everyone along the way is so concerned about getting the job done and getting paid, that not one single person, from top to bottom, had the courage to speak up and demand greatness.
Let’s just hope that the same thing doesn’t happen in whichever place you work at.
