Assignment 1B
Interview
Leif Ramsey, leiframsey@southern.edu
Producer
SVAD Productions
Nashville, Tennessee
1) Leif manages a small business that was started in 2004. He works hand and hand with the local college in the school of visual art design. His business started in 2004 on the production of the feature film Secret of the Cave. Now he works on short films, documentaries, small projects, writing contracts, and proposals for clients.
2) He started out in this business by being a graphic designer and just got really interested in the field. Then he started interning on as many film projects that he could get in to and this led to his production agency.
3) He said there were two aspects to not completing a task and that is the business side and the money side. He would try to compromise with the person on how to accomplish the task in a different way and if it could not work, than he would simply say that his business could do it but with more time or more money which ever is needed.
4) The advice he had for me is to really do everything you can to get onto as many film sets and projects as possible. Intern and make connections with everyone, become their new best friends and this helps when they are looking for new employment or extra help.
