What Happens on the Producer’s Side of the Table? With Garima Mehta, Producer

What Happens After You Send Your Script?

What makes a producer keep reading? What turns a script into a pitch worth championing? And what actually happens once you submit your project?

In this Cininfo Live Session, Garima Mehta takes us inside the producer’s side of the table, sharing insights from her experience across creative development, production, acquisitions and storytelling.

From evaluating a script and understanding its potential to getting your work read by the right people, this session offers a practical look at how producers approach stories and what writers should know before they send their next script.
