Episode 21: Sara Fischer, Production Executive, Shondaland
Sara is the Head of Production at Shondaland. Wowza. She worked her way up in the business as an Assistant Director, UPM, Producer and Production Executive. Here is her jam-packed IMDB page. She has a St. Elsewhere baby, a Chicago Hope baby, and a Thirtysomething baby. Who among us can say that?
She recently joined Shondaland, as Shonda Rhimes is building an empire of badass women, of which Sara is one. Her biggest piece of advice - people are in this business a long time, and your paths are going to cross again. Be nice.
Here’s the other secret, no matter how successful you become, you still feel like that kid who was getting everyone coffee.
And remember that awesome video that introduced Hillary during the Democratic convention this summer? Sara produced it.
