Funny enough, wrong movie, but right director - which is another reason why the movie will never get made now.
She no longer works in Hollywood. When she did work in Hollywood, she was a personal assistant to a big star, she crewed on a couple of films, and she started working as a production assistant to LA-based reality and judge shows. She wrote her spec scripts on the side.
She now works outside LA producing mid-afternoon cable TV filler. She produces reality television, true crime docu-dramas, and lightweight documentary series about animals or museum exhibits. She’s generally credited as a “Producer” for her most senior jobs. She reports directly to an executive producer who is responsible for the series. I’m sure that’s the person who would be colloquially referred to as the showrunner but I don’t know if they really use that term in the cable TV business. I’ve never heard her mention “showrunner” when talking about executive producers. In a good year, she makes in the very low six-figures. By stringing gigs together and delivering what she promises, she can consistently work and make enough to survive. Her bad years would be pretty good by many people’s standards. She also does things like development: recruiting new “talent” for shows, putting together sizzle reels, and crafting pitches for the networks. Other times, her producing responsibilities mean she is getting location permits, hiring craft services, badgering her editor, and coordinating the actors and crew. On the side, she still writes scripts like the voiceover stuff for cable series that she is not producing. I’m not sure how, or even if, she’s credited for these jobs. She has almost no IMDB presence because these shows just don’t seem to register on that site.
