Show Notes
Way before the team steps onto set, someone needs to find the budget, location and crew to make a production happen. What does it take to be a film or high-end TV producer? Welcome to Out Of Frame, where each week we celebrate the work of below the line roles. Join Yinka Bokinni as she explores what these jobs involve - and how you can do the same. This week, Yinka meets legendary producer Steve Clark-Hall, who has worked with Guy Ritchie on films like King Arthur and The Man From U.N.C.L.E, plus the Sherlock Holmes movies and Avenue 5. Steve shares how he's helped grow household talent like Jane Horrocks, Cillian Murphy and Ben Whishaw. Out of Frame is produced by Listen for CrewHQ at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
