Besides production meetings, is there anything else you use to keep the entire crew in sync? Biagio – you definitely have your hands full during your productions.

Communication is the missing link in productions that fail. The worst thing a producer can do is to assume everyone else just "gets it." Regular, planned meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page are an absolute must. On a show like Scream Queens where we can have almost 200 people on set at any given time, it would be a crime to just "hope" everyone gets it right. Don't plan your production without penciling in time for quick meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page. Well said! Communication is the missing link in productions that fail.

In fact, the shows that quickly went off the rails were the ones where there was "no time" to DO those meetings. Good tip! Maria,
this is one of the first lessons I learned from working with you – and those stand-up meetings have stood in good stead on nearly every production I’ve worked on since. In fact, the shows that quickly went off the rails were the ones where there was “no time” to DO those meetings.

Good tip!
