"The
Global Worrier" Adds Spice to Produced By
Conference (PBC)
••••
LOS ANGELES / Monetization was the thread
theme at the Producers Guild sponsored "Produced By
Conference," held on the on the 20th Century Fox
lot, June 5-6th.
•••••
More than 1,100 people attended the second
annual Produced by Conference held June 5-6, 2010

Turner, Mark Cuban, Larry Gordon, Bruce Cohen,
James L. Brooks, Jon Landau, Paula Wagner, Marshall
Herskovitz, Douglas Wick, Mark Gordon, Tim Gibbons,
Hawk Koch, Alan Ball and 130 other masters of their
craft, attendees were endlessly inspired throughout
the two-day celebration of the producing art.
• In
Conversation with Ted Turner
•••••
Speaking at the second annual PBC, in a
wide-ranging conversation with Variety Group editor
Timothy M. Gray, Turner told the showbiz crowd "I
miss you," then talked about the role of
television, getting his millions and billions mixed
up, raising 55,00 bisons, theUN Foundation, and his
historic pledge of up to $1 billion to the UNF, and
the importance of saving our planet. "I don't watch
much TV, I'm too busy saving the planet."
•••••When
asked whether he'd get into the Internet if he was
starting today, Turner said he wouldn't enter the
television business today. "I'd go into the clean
alternative energy." "Thirty years ago, when I
started, there was not enough television, TV was a
business of scarcity. You want to be in the
beginning of a new business, you want to be in a
business that has limited, hight barrier to entry,
so that you'll have limited competition for as long
as possible," and noted he always new CNN, the
24-hours cable news channel he founded, would be a
success.
•••••Being
also a movie producer and founder of TNT, TBS and
the Cartoon Network, Turner was asked whether
entertaining people was the most important thing.
"No," he said quickly. "Informing people is. Just
because the Cartoon Network often gets better
ratings than CNN, doesn't make it more important."
But wen it comes to crafting film and television to
carry a message, he said,"You want to get your
message across in a clever and entertaining
way."
•••••
Turner avoided taking swipes at CNN's rival
networks, when asked what he thinks of the quality
and tenor of today's news reporting. He simply
said, "Some of it's good; some is less so.
•••••
His advice for young producers and future
moguls, "Study the business from where you are; use
good judgment; figure out what you want to
accomplish; work out a plan for yourself, and
implement the plan," he said, then added: "But you
also have to be flexible. If circumstances change,
or your perspective changes, then roll with
it."
•••••
Mindful of the producer to effect social
change, Ted Turner, in town with a goal of
enlisting entertainment storytellers to come on
board in his attempt to save the world, advancing
his global agenda to fight hunger, focusing on the
environment and of redoing energy policy with
emphasis to clean renewables like wind, solar and
geothermal. "Come tell our
stories; our doors are open" said UN Foundation
exec director Elizabeth Gore in a brief
introduction.
•••••Turnere
stressed for the world inhabitants to be decent,
kindhearted, respectful human beings. He spoke of
the danger of nuclear weapons, "We have to learn to
live together, not die together," and the only
solution to sustain the planet is getting rid of
nuclear weapons." "Nuclear Disarmament is the
solution."
••••
"Why are we fighting in Iraq, why are we in
Afghanistan, why are we bombing everywhere?
•••••
Again, "We have
to learn to live together, not die together." "My
biggest concern is that we're not going to make
it," he said. "The next fifty years will be a real
test, and if we can get through that, we might be
around forever." "It's not hopeful, but I might be
wrong." "You can't get discouraged. You can't give
up. We we still have time to turn it around."
"Any of you producers
listening?" Ted, "the global warrior" has a large,
visionary global agenda.
