TESTIGOS: Agus Gut on production, operations and the entertainment industry

Interview with Ángel Gatica · Tu Eliges

What happens behind the entertainment industry before audiences see the final result? In this edition of TESTIGOS, producer and operations director Agustín “Agus” Gut speaks with Ángel Gatica about more than two decades of work across film, television, live broadcasts and international entertainment projects.

The conversation explores the invisible operational work behind complex productions: aligning creative, technical and production teams; managing schedules, locations and international crews; and building the systems that allow large-scale projects to move from an ambitious idea to a finished screen or live experience.

Production leadership in practice

Agus Gut discusses the discipline required to operate under pressure, the value of experience across different formats and the importance of understanding every department as part of one production ecosystem. The interview also reflects on how technology and global collaboration continue to transform the responsibilities of producers and operations directors.
