LOS ANGELES, CA. January 12th, 2024 - Producers' Happy Hour, the go-to podcast for production professionals in the film and commercial industry, is set to launch an exciting Season 5, commencing in February 20th, 2024.
What to Expect in Season 5
Season 5, responding to our growing audience's need for specific advice, will continue to bring candid conversations, expert interviews, and valuable insights into production. Fueled by the feedback we've gathered, the season will also cover rich topics like how to succeed as a career-freelancer, handling difficult client conversations, focused career advancement, and director roster insights. All served with our signature cocktail recipes and a dash of humor.
Welcome to Our Learning Revolution
As we gear up for Season 5, we're thrilled to share a significant leap – online learning courses. We understand firsthand the challenges of navigating the production world without formal education or mentorship. We had to figure it all out on our own because, back then, the resources we're now providing simply didn't exist.
Our mission is personal. We want to be the mentors we never had and offer our community a “Producer's Playbook” to bridge the gaps in your knowledge, offer new producing perspectives, and empower your expertise. In this season, we're unveiling online learning courses that transcend traditional filmmaker classes. These courses zero in on practical producing expertise, providing guidance on navigating client and crew relations, bidding and budgeting tactics, and delving into crucial details in specific areas of production – insights that go beyond what you'll find in textbooks.
Backstory of Producers’ Happy Hour
Launching its first episode in the weeks leading up to the COVID-19 lockdown, Lawrence Lewis and Sister Christian, the dynamic duo behind Producers' Happy Hour, found themselves in uncharted territories. The rapidly changing landscape and the industry's immediate challenges prompted them to take bold action. Recognizing the need for timely information, they transformed the podcast into a daily resource for the first three months, providing real-time insights during the most tumultuous period in recent production history.
Breaking Down Barriers and Eliminating Gatekeepers
Producers' Happy Hour has always been about more than just providing industry insights and cocktail recipes. As industry veterans each with over 20 years of experience, Lawrence and Sister Christian endeavor to empower the next generation of producers by dismantling barriers and eliminating gatekeepers. With a mission to share the kind of practical advice and knowledge they wish they had received earlier in their careers, Lawrence and Sister Christian are making production education accessible to all.
