Welcome!
I'm Anna Zielinski
Filmmaking is messy — especially when you’re working with limited resources and wearing too many hats.
Plans change. Problems pop up. Budgets stretch. And it’s easy to wonder if producing your own film is even realistic. I know that feeling because I’ve lived it.
That’s why I created The Producers Desk — a practical filmmaking resource built to help indie filmmakers bring structure and clarity to the producing process.
Here, I break down the nuts and bolts of making a film — from script breakdowns and budgeting to scheduling, casting, post-production, and delivery. No theory. No fluff. Just real-world producer systems you can actually use.
My approach is simple: Prep Is Power.
The clearer your plan, the more confidence you have to move forward.
Whether you’re developing your first project or trying to get unstuck on the one you’re already carrying, The Producers Desk is here to help you move from script to screen with clarity, structure, and momentum.
