Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show

Showrunners is the first-ever feature-length documentary to pull back the curtain on the intricate realm of US television showrunners and the creative forces converging around them. These are the people who conceive, write, and supervise every element of production for one of America's most prominent exports— television drama and comedy series. Frequently regarded as the most demanding role in entertainment, a showrunner serves as the chief writer and producer on a series and, in many cases, the creator. Straddling the line between artistry and commerce, showrunners oversee every facet of a show's development and production: creative vision, financial management, and logistical operations.
