Alex and Nick invite Mary Bonney, production coordinator on NBC’s Running Wild with Bear Grylls and Go90’s The 5th Quarter, to talk about on-set producing and being a production coordinator in television.
What is the role of a production coordinator and on-set producer in TV? What is production’s relationship with scripts? What are the differences between unscripted and scripted? What elements should writers watch out for in their TV scripts before production? How should you select projects to work on as favors? What does a typical day of TV production look like?
The Paper Team gets it done…
