1. What is your genre?
You need to know what types of films you like and which type would you be passionate to make because as the producers job you will be around it everyday start to finish. The producer is like the "glue" of the production, you need to make sure your coming to work doing what you love.
2. Can an audience relate to it?
In the sense that will they get enjoyment from the experience, will they learn a lesson from it, is it a true story that needs to be told or is it daring and could possibly stand out from most other films? Whatever the reason, you have to make sure there's an audience for it.
3. What is your budget?
Once you know your budget then you can start seeing the reality of whether this script is going to be possible to make. You should always check the amount of locations inside or outside, the amount of characters, do we have enough money to do the car crash scene etc, because it all adds up.
After finding a script that suits you best we then move onto finding a director and other things you need for production, keeping the writer informed of your plans.
