Managing Chaos
A creative’s guide for when the only consistency is inconsistency
Creative work rarely develops under perfectly stable conditions. Priorities change, information remains incomplete, responsibilities overlap and decisions still need to be made.
Managing Chaos is a practical guide for people working in creative and production environments where change is normal rather than exceptional. It examines how to create enough clarity to move forward, recognize the difference between assumptions and constraints, and make responsible decisions without waiting for perfect certainty.
Written by VFX producer Georgina Street, the book draws on experience across complex film, television and commercial productions, where creative ambition, technical dependencies, schedules, budgets, vendors and people must continually be brought into alignment.
Rather than promising control over uncertainty, Managing Chaos provides practical ways to work within it.
