PRODUCER’S STATEMENT
There’s really nothing more rewarding than being an integral part of an artistic, creative collective with the sole goal of developing meaningful and enlightening projects. My primary role in filmmaking is as a producer. That term is so ambiguous and I’m often asked exactly what I do. Being an independent film producer, I try to do as much as I possibly can to support the project. My aim is to help finance, or obtain financing, first and foremost; and then to see the production through pre-production, principle photography, post-production and distribution. My duty is to maintain stability throughout, but most importantly, to help realize the writer and/or director’s artistic vision.
Zero Trans Fat Productions promises to develop, produce and deliver intelligent, artistic, and entertaining films and videos; to function as an integral part of the creative, collaborative process; and to broaden the horizons of film production in the state of Texas.
