Exclusive workshop on animation features production by Max Howard at KMW

KYIV MEDIA WEEK 2018 is honoured to welcome Max Howard in Kyiv in September – animation guru, renowned producer and consultant from Hollywood. Mr. Howard will deliver a workshop ‘So you wanna be a producer. А guide to producing animated features’.

“No matter the size of the budget, one can always use more. The successful producer understands the secret, it’s how you use the time and money that will lead to success – there’s never enough of either, or so we think – ‘if only’, is the call. Whereas the secret is celebrating what you do have, and then allocating those resources in the most efficient way, making sure every penny spent gets on the screen. Producing is a balance between the creative vision and the resources available – ‘that’s time and money.’ The workshop explores all aspects of becoming a successful producer, from organization to managing a creative community; from development to distributing the finished film. So you wanna be a producer or just want to understand how an animated film is made, this workshop is definitely for you”, – Max says.

Max Howard is a film producer and studio executive, based in Los Angeles. He has run studios for Walt Disney Feature Animation in London, Paris, Orlando and Los Angeles, and was president of Warner Bros. Feature Animation. Max Howard’s animation career has spanned over thirty years, serving as a studio executive and/or producer on some of the industry’s most iconic and successful films. His credits include 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', 'Beauty and the Beast', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Aladdin', 'The Lion King' and others. This, coupled with producing and consulting on independently produced animated feature films, has given Max a unique perspective. 

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, September 19, from 11:00 till 13:00 in Ballroom conference hall.
