Episode 68: Alex Schwartz, Producer, Executive
Alex was Head of Production for Alpha Animation at the time of this recording. Since then, she has begun producing an all animated Addams Family feature film for MGM. She is a Producer with an amazing list of credits. Some of them include: Bridge to Terabithia, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Holes, Rushmore, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion…you get the idea. She is legit.
We talked about her unlikely journey to the top. Moving to LA and back to NY and back to LA. As you do. Even the worst job you can think of might lead to something real and something big. Take every opportunity.
Alex came up through development as a creative executive, after starting out as a reader at $30 a pop. She walks us through the incredibly collaborative process of animation.
And this - we need to hear the voices of women for our very survival.
