From Caviar With Arnold To 'Cruising' With The Rock

The No Film School Podcast

Two of the film industry’s most prolific producers - John Davis and John Fox of Disney's Jungle Cruise - are giving us behind the scenes info and stories on many of the huge blockbusters they’ve been a part of.

In this episode, we talk about...

• How these producers who work on movies with huge budgets and top stars still have to pitch their films and go through the same process as other filmmakers.
• How the two of them decided to become producers and what their early inspirations were.
• Each of their earliest jobs in the industry and how they worked their way up.
• Fun stories about filming Predator.
• How Jungle Cruise came about, got pitched, and got a team together.
• The ways that even for big name producers like Davis and Fox, the process of pitching to a studio is still competitive and difficult.
• Why you should see limitations as opportunities.
• Thoughts about how to respond to and learn from test audiences.
