How Ira Riklis Added Business Savy To Movie Management
Ever notice the Film credits at the end of movie and how they list the names of every single person that contributed to the production of the film. Next to the persons name is a label as to what the person did on the film or what job the held. Job titles like Gaffer, Key Grip and Best Boy indicate the electrician and lighting expert and the first assistant to the lighting engineer that assisted in the making of a film and working behind the scenes to make the small details that go along way into the film production possible.
The logistical and technical aspects of movie making involve many professionals from the lighting and electrical industry as well as carpenters and designers that build sets and make them lifelike. Part of the responsibility of the producers is to find and hire the behind the scenes technical crews that make movie
magic.
Scheduling the timetables of the movie production comes under the job description of the producer who is responsible not only for finding creative ways to promote and release the film but is also in charge of lining up investors to fund the movie making venture and who will be the first to get paid after the film is released and starts making money from the ticket sales.
When making the movie Lemon Tree, first time co producer Ira Riklis discovered that running a film production is very much like running a business. By setting the deliver dates of the major components of the film the logistical and technical portions of the production were able to be coordinated with the filming of scenes that bring together the fabric of the film.
Even through the director controls the action and the director of photography makes the visual and
lighting adjustments for the film it is the producer that really makes a movie come together by setting in motion all of the elements of the film and combining the efforts to the director and director of photography so that every element and consideration for the crew and acting staff can be brought together harmoniously throughout the production of the film.
Coming from a background in executive business management,Ira Rikliswas able to easily pick up the role of co producer and run the daily behind the scenes operation of the filming of the independent movie Lemon Tree, which is directed by his Israeli filmmaker cousin Eran Riklis. The co production of the film made such an
impact on Ira Riklis that he is eagerly awaiting a second opportunity to work on the set and contribute his knowledge and skills to making more movies in the future.
