I started this course so that I could learn about showrunning, and all that it entails, in order to become a better non-writing producer. I feel that the knowledge I gained, the insights of what it is to be a showrunner, will be incredibly valuable to me in becoming the best version I can possibly be. The two parts of the industry can, and should, work in tandem in a symbiotic relationship and this course showed me that I can, and will, be part of that from now on. This course is not just for people who want to become showrunners, it is also for people who want to become producers. I totally recommend it.
