David Puttnam will talk about the role and the responsibility of the Producer in making films and the impact these films can have and will contribute towards a better society.

David looks in depth to the contributions of the producer in the making of a film, as well as to how this film is then received and takes its place in society. What are the necessary and important set of choices a producer is confronted with? What are the criteria to make these crucial choices to make a film succeed in the marketplace.

In conclusion, Puttnam offers his ‘top ten’ pieces of advice for the creative team: writers, directors and creative producers.
