Welcome to The Work Day, a series that charts a single day in various women’s working lives. Here's what an executive producer does in a day.
I have been working in the entertainment industry for more than 25 years. I started in marketing and promotions for a major label in the early 1990s for a couple of years, then transitioned into music videos and commercials. I produced hundreds of music videos and commercials for artists including Brandy, Monica and Nas, and commercials for brands such as Sprite, McDonald’s and many more.
People send me new show ideas a lot, and I try to respond to them all. Although I’m an early riser, I also go to bed fairly late, because I am most creative in the evening. My assistant is virtual, and we mainly interact via email and text, with a weekly Zoom on Mondays. The middle of the day is filled with meetings.
I do my best writing after 8 p.m., and I try to take in some good TV. Between 11 p.m. and midnight, I wind it down with a little YouTube and some water or tea.I finally wake up. My iPad and glasses are next to me, so I’m able to check emails and send a payment to a graphic designer for a presentation they’re creating for the new series I’m pitching next week.
I head up to the 22nd floor and meet with the team. We do the walk-through. On this particular shoot, my role is to explain the overall creative big picture. Luckily for me, the studio we are shooting in is not on the main level, so we have to climb two flight of stairs. The walk-through is complete and talent isn’t due to arrive until 11 a.m., so I take this as a sign that I can go take a real coffee break. I head down to Gregorys and have a cappuccino in a mug and a warm croissant.
Unfortunately, I can’t stay long, because I need to complete an early script for a Christmas movie my partner and I recently pitched to a network.I head home to Jersey. The weather is nice, and I decide to enjoy my new favorite rosé and get to writing.I send the email to my producing partner for review and decide I’ll make any changes in the morning. I jump in the shower, so I can spend some quality time with my husband when he’s home.
