The Art of Being a Producer
This book is a journey (I would say even adventure) in the field of film production, a guide to every visual management student, an extremely enjoyable experience for people like me whose life has been strongly connected with film and television - mainly film production and distribution.
I would have called it "Spells, Awake and Asleep" because the narrative is spontaneous but at the same time extremely detailed, without bothering and stifling consciousness. This work is the first of its kind in Bulgaria. There are several books devoted to the work of the producer, but they either deal with the legal framework of the Bulgarian film industry, or are dedicated to the TV producer.
A book that corresponds to the daily work of the producer - from finding the idea to the realization of the finished film - we have not had before. I want to emphasize the very important part of the producer's work - finding the idea and dramatic development of the script.
