#10: Building A Business

Producer, Harvey Ascott

In this conversation we speak to Harvey Ascott, co-founder and executive producer at Dog Eat Dog. We discuss the world of feature films, finding the right directors for the right job and starting your own production company.

We managed to pin Harvey down for a brew. Here’s some sound bites from the chat.

“Running your own business, there’s no one that cares more about bringing in the projects and bringing in the work than yourself. I try and find that right project that will get our directors to the next level.”

“It is scary setting up a company, because the only person you answer to is yourself. You are always the last person on the pay run. But, it can be really rewarding financially and creatively.”
