This episode is a deep dive into the producer’s perspective.

Jake Stangel talks about his entire shoot process - from initial client inquiry all the way through to wrapping up in post. Jake walks us through how he approaches each stage of a shoot, including communication with clients, pre-production planning, on-set execution and vibes managing, and how he stays cool under pressure. We also get into how he shaped his portfolio to land bigger jobs (hint: it wasn’t overnight) and why advocating for his crew is a non-negotiable on every shoot.
