Question by water49uk: How do Hollywood producers and directors make modern movies?
How do Hollywood producers and directors make such large movies and long-running TV series? I mean if I had to direct Transformers 2007, like Michael Bay, I think I would have a nervous breakdown! And how does Jerry Bruckheimer produce several TV shows & movies?

I want to know: mentally, how do they cope? Are they highly functioning? Have a team of PAs? Do a lot of drugs & drink? Surround themselves with the best they can afford and then delegate as much as possible and hope for the best?

A lot of the time Bruckheimer just adds his name projects because studio heads know he has a fan base
