The Right Tools to Lead and Disrupt
If you’ve ever felt stuck during the filmmaking process—searching for the right tools, knowledge, or inspiration but finding yourself lost in a sea of scattered information—you’re not alone. We’ve all been there. Instead of piecing together advice from half a dozen websites and listicles, I’ve compiled this list to save you time, cut through the noise, and get you straight to the good stuff.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, discover new perspectives, or challenge industry norms, this list has you covered. It’s built on the same principles as Producer’s Playbook—practicality, honesty, and empowerment. No fluff. No pretentiousness. Just the resources that will help you push boundaries and produce your best work.
This list is constantly evolving—just like production itself. I’ll keep adding to it as I come across more game-changing tools, but if I’ve missed something crucial or you have a resource you swear by, let me know. This is about all of us growing together.
