film and TV production industry as a woman. 

with the 'Godmother' of Independent Film
Debbie Brubaker
interviewed by Producer Robin Kincade 

Debbie has over twenty- five of experience in all facets of motion picture and video production.  She is currently assisting in development on a television series, several indie movies, and writing budgets.
 
At the beginning of this year Debbie was working on the new Netflix series Clickbait – but the show
was shut down for the filming of the remainder of the season. Also last year she had the great fortune
to work on the California portion of Sean Penn’s latest directing endeavor, Flag Day. Last year’s adventures also included worked on the television show Wheel of Fortune and prior to that have
worked on series such as The Man in the High Castle for Amazon, worked the VFX unit for the
Netflix movie Christmas Chronicles, help produce Cosmos Possible Worlds for Fox and National Geo, and Tales of the City for Netflix / NBC Universal.   
 
Locally, in San Francisco Bay Area, she has been dubbed the “Godmother” of independent film. She line produced Boots Riley’s movie Sorry to Bother You. Some of her more notable films are Blue Jasmine, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Big Eyes, Winchester and La Mission.
 
Debbie’s specialties are budgeting for any media project, networking the right crew members with directors/projects, and creating an environment for a successful outcome. Her latest budget plans include protocols for protecting crews from the novel Covid-19 virus and are tailored to the project.
