Producing vs directing, what do producers do, do you need one, how to find them, and the relationship of directors and producers. How creative is that position - quite a bit, it turns out.

Hear from Stacey L. Holman - who both directs and produces- to find out more about this important and yet often vaguely described role in film production.

Stacey, filmmaking for over a decade, recently wrapped on the follow up to The Black Church series, GOSPEL as one of the series Producers/Directors. The four-hour documentary will broadcast on PBS in February 2024. She previously was the Series Producer/Director of Henry Louis Gates, Jr’s Black Church series The Black Church: This Is Our Story. This Is Our Song, and the Director of Buffalo Soldiers, the third episode of the Black Patriots on The History Channel. Her last project, Making Black America: Through the Grapevine, which she Series Produced/Directed, aired on PBS in 2022. She previously produced many programs for acclaimed director Stanley Nelson, and made her own award winning film, Dressed Like Kings.
