Any tips for interviewing for a senior producer role? I switched to production from another department at my current agency several years ago. This is my first time interviewing on the production side

Going from an agency to a production co is very different. I hope you have some understanding of line producing and budgeting. You’ll need to show that you have the know-how for doing that end of production.

agreed with the other comment. line producing is very different from agency producing. it's a lot more work. you'll need to truly understand every detail needed in production. for ex you're the one who will need to figure out parking, restrooms, crafty, crew, equipment rentals, table and chair rentals, and the list goes on and on. especially if it's smaller budgets. and you need to have a strong production network. you've got to hire the best crew and keep building those relationships.
