What exactly does an executive producer do on a movie? How much input do they have on casting, locations, and all the creative choices that make a movie what it is?
To answer some of these questions and much more, my guest on this episode of Hometown to Hollywood is Wendy Japhet. Wendy is a producer of films, for both the big screen and TV. She is best known for producing The Italian Job, An Education, The Brothers Bloom, I’m Not There, Disney Descendants, and Descendants 2.
Wendy shares her story—which begins with her passion for dance, and a degree in English Literature-- and she provides great insight into the challenging, creative world of production, including some great stories from Descendants and Descendants 2. Join us!
