I’ve been doing this for more than fifty years. So, what does that make me besides old? It makes me a person who knows what he’s talking about and you should listen to me. I just came through an independent production with an inexperienced staff that had to be one of the best run, trouble-free experiences I have ever had in film or television or theater for that matter. And it was all because Stacy Herman was my producer. It could have been a nightmare, but Stacy’s calm, assured, mentoring hand held together a production that threatened to go off the rails almost daily. I will work with Stacy again and so should you.

From a director:
Thank you for being are a tireless supporter of our collective goal. Your egoless approach to getting it all done set the standard for a joyful journey that all will remember for a long time. It worked because of your work, and because you care. That was the most pleasant production crew that I have worked with recently. It could have gone very badly. It didn’t. The “pro’s” gently guided the students and by weeks end, in a chilly rain, with a 6pm call, an optimistic, and still enthusiastic newly skilled team sprang into action to create an opportunity against the weather for magical performance once more!
So much of what went well was due to your efforts away from the set. You have a keen understanding of people, what they want, and what they need - even if at times, those are two very different things. You are a “capable captain of the production mothership,” thank you for safe passage on behalf of us all!
With much gratitude,

I had the privilege of learning under Stacy's mentorship for a semester for pre-production on a pilot and I am the better for it. Stacy went above and beyond to help me (and the rest of the class) to teach us what was important but also the smaller things that we'd never think of had it not been for a professional like Stacy. She also made sure to teach us why these things were important so we would remember it in the long run and that kind of tutelage really goes a long way. She always treated us like young professionals first and students second and for that and many other reasons I couldn't recommend Stacy's services more.

Stacy Herman is an excellent producer and is fluent in multiple formats. Whether it’s a feature film, documentary or reality series, Stacy always gets the job done and gets it done well. Her attention to detail and positive attitude make her a joy to be around and an asset on any production. She’s great with crews, vendors, talent, studios and networks and always comes to projects prepared - with an infectious smile and warm touch. She’s very well respected by her peers and serves on the Advisory Board for the Producers Council and is the only person I know to call in for cost report meetings while giving birth. Stacy is dedicated and smart and one of the sweetest people in the business.

Stacy is a producer's producer. When I am in the field there is nothing more reassuring then knowing I have Stacy behind me because I know she will take care of her crew no matter what the situation. There is no situation she hasn't seen and no problem she can't solve. If I am facing a difficult production, and I am staring up at the mountain top so far away, my first call is to Stacy.

Stacy Hope Herman is the much needed breath of fresh air on what is too often a stuffy set. She is a constant force of positive energy whose sole purpose as a producer seems to be solving problems on every level — creative, logistical, budgetary, you name it. I have worked with Stacy multiple times and look forward to continuing to do so on projects to come for many years.
Matthew Watts, Executive Producer, Writer, Director
Stacy has been my go to source for advice and guidance for the last 11 years. She's never steered me wrong and always has the answers. She's been an indispensable resource which has allowed me to successfully grow within this complicated and challenging business.

Having Stacy for my mentor have been a deeply empowering experience.
The knowledge and wisdom she has imparted upon me has been a great gift. She gave me the best professional advice I received in the industry, and I constantly go back to her words when I have to make a strong choice.
She has inspired me to pursue my goals with hard work and dedication while making sure I was aiming for the right ones. I believe my success is at least in part due to her sincere support and mentorship.
I will always be deeply grateful to Stacy for believing in me. She has been an excellent mentor, teacher, friend and a great inspiration.

Stacy Hope Herman was the Line Producer on my first feature film, and we were so fortunate to have her as a part of the team. While she usually put us at ease by letting us know that she would take care of most of the logistics and we could go off and perform our own roles without worrying about things getting done, I did get to see her in action up close a number of times. What a sight to see. This is a woman who knows film and knows people. Yes, she knows many important people personally, but she also knows what real people want and need and how to take care of a production. She also is a phenomenal negotiator. I highly recommend Stacy as an asset to any film production.

Working together with Stacy was truly an amazing experience. Stacy is an outstanding mentor, who goes above and beyond with her help, guidance, and professional advice.
She has inspired me to constantly push myself in the industry, and create a path to achieve my goals. Stacy works creatively, efficiently, and is extremely organized. As she says best...."check, double check, and triple check".
I am very grateful and appreciate everything Stacy has done for me in the industry, and I hope to work with her again in the very near future!

Stacy Hope Herman and I have known each other for as long as I have been in the Producer’s Guild, a period of at least eight years. Since I became involved with the Guild, I have frequently interacted with Stacy, watching her handle a variety of situations with calm and aplomb. She has organized stellar events and made sure they came off flawlessly. She is every inch a producer and has exhibited her excellent skills in every way at the PGA.
She is dedicated, forthright, and determined as well as pleasant and personable.
I highly recommend her.

I was hired on a job that gave me 3 1/2 days before my first shoot. I had to put together shoots in New York and Los Angeles with little to no time. Since I was not going to travel to NY, I needed a good person who could help with the shoots from getting locations approved to hiring crew. There was only on person my colleagues recommended and that was Stacy. I cannot imagine doing a shoot in New York without her. She brings a great list of contacts, knowledge about where to film and even best places for out of town crew to stay. As panicked as I was in trying to set up the shoots with little notice, ,she handled it with calm and good humor.
Whenever I'm doing production in New York, she is ALWAYS my first call.
