The Lesson: Numbers don’t speak untruths, and for a female minority in a bro-business like Hollywood movie production, they’re sexy that way. Saga Elmohtasen has produced hundred million dollar productions, but regardless of how successful she is, she doesn’t let it go to her head, remembering that it’s her roots and natural attitude that lead her to be successful.
Notable Excerpt: “I don’t take any of my work seriously, with all due respect, but I’m serious about my work. Do you see the dichotomy here? At the end of the day I’m a daughter, I’m a sister, I’m an auntie, I’m way more than a producer, and I don’t take any of it seriously but I’m so dang serious about the job. Being able to sever those two has been a lifesaver.”
