From Texas to the side of Steven Spielberg, Bonnie Curtis has had a journey. Known as one of the most regarded Producer's in the film industry, Bonnie worked her way from Steven Spielberg's Assistant, all the way through to his Producer and now runs her own film production partnership with previous podcast guest Julie Lynn.
In this episode which I think may be my favourite I've ever made Bonnie gives a masterclass in how to open doors in your career, advice she's received from Steven for life and business and how to get back on the path you were always destined for.
What you'll learn:
- How does a famous director hire an assistant
- What gets you noticed by prominent executives
- THE REAL STORY of what happened on the beach during the Saving Private Ryan shoot
- how to move from studio film making to indie movies
and so much more.
