Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show (2014)

"Showrunners" is the first ever feature length documentary film to explore the fascinating world of US television showrunners and the creative forces aligned around them. These are the people responsible for creating, writing and overseeing every element of production on one of the United State's biggest exports – television drama and comedy series. Often described as the most complex job in the entertainment business, a showrunner is the chief writer / producer on a TV series and, in most instances, the show's creator. Battling daily between art and commerce, showrunners manage every aspect of a TV show's development and production: creative, financial and logistical.

I really enjoyed this film. Its for the true film fan and those desiring to enter the film industry at the studio levels. Being a novice filmmaker I really enjoyed seeing these people and hearing there stories. I will most likely never be a show runner but it was fun to get a peak into the minds of some of our favorite television production teams. Highly recommend.

For those who love to see the behind-the-scenes of TV shows, "Showrunners" is a fascinating documentary that shows viewers the ins and outs of putting a show together. Featuring many famous and successful showrunners like J.J. Abrams and Joss Whedon, the documentary gives you a look at their complex set of responsibilities and the hardships they endure. However, about halfway through you will wish they stop whining, and discuss more of what needs to be done to have a show come together and be successful. This documentary is best suited for a college class who is learning the art of television and film, as opposed to a huge "Lost" fan who stumbled across this on Netflix because J.J. Abram's name is attached.

Unstudied to the point of utilitarianism, the film nonetheless has wide scope, and Doyle effectively gets his arms around this huge, nebulous, weird job.

For wannabe, seasoned pro and curious observer alike, these tales from the creative front lines are, like good TV, as insightful as they are entertaining.

I love showbiz docs, and this one gave a good look into the life of a showrunner.
