Prod Hierarchy: Top Down Mgmt. SCAVENGER HUNT!

Hey all! Today we'll start "at the top", so to speak, learning about the people who are really in control of getting a movie production "green lit" to begin planning and filming. These folks (referred to as "Above the Line") are the movers, shakers, and money behind most films, both Big $ and small (indie).

We're going to start using the "Anatomy of a Film Set" series. Click on the link below:

Once we've completed Exec. Prod., Prod., Loc. Scout, and Director, it's time to divide into 4 groups to complete a Scavenger Hunt! You'll get a copy of "Boom!" magazine from me, and your team will conduct an IMDB search to find something that each of those people has worked on. Use the following resources:

http://www.imdb.com/

BONUS 5 pts. to the team that finishes first!
