A Veteran Producer’s words of wisdom: “making it” with Jack Sackman

Jeff Sackman joins us on the podcast exuding an air of calm. His keep-it-cool attitude is what made Jeff successful as a producer of American Psycho (2000) and the other 96 movies he’s made over his career. Preaching a gospel of “cutting through,” which he describes as having the smarts to compete without big studio capital, his former company Think Films afforded Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination and led to the inception of A24. In this episode, Jeff talks about the biggest disappointment of his career, being a serial entrepreneur, and why doing projects differently goes further than throwing money at them. 

Jeff’s collaborations with BondIt and Buffalo 8 include the Buffalo 8 Post-Production and BondIt financed and Executive Produced film Becky (2020) as well as the BondIt financed and Executive Produced film Social Animals (2018).
