This document summarizes the threat faced by an indigenous language in Mexico called Ayapan. The last two remaining fluent speakers of the language, who are elderly men in their 70s living in the same village, have stopped speaking to each other. As a result, the language is at risk of becoming extinct. While reports say the men had an argument, the head of the Mexican Institute for Indigenous Languages plays this down, saying the men simply drifted apart and now have little in common. The situation highlights the broader threat faced by over 20 indigenous languages in Mexico.

1. “Most people have absolutely no concept of what producers do,
even people in the film business…”
BARBARA BROCCOLI (co-producer of James Bond movies).
“Every producer is different! It’s been so different on every
movie that I’ve worked on. For me, there is no definition”
SYDNEY POLLACK (producer and director).

3. Creative producer vs. financial producer
You need creative insight to make the right choices,
and you need business acumen to set out the whole project properly
6. Dino De Laurentiis: “ To become a great producer you must have something
inside of you that I cannot teach you… You need an artistic feeling inside
you, something that divides artists and non-artists”
8. Passion
The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the
idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its
fulfillment
10. Collaboration
there is nothing more rewarding for a director than being able
to collaborate with a creative producer, and there is no better marriage than
that of a producer and director who collaborate brilliantly
15. ...and
inspiration
“He who does not travel,
who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
dies slowly.”
