</i><br>Abstract:�Many outside or even in the film industry struggle to define what exactly a�producer does. An�independent film producer Michiyo Yoshizaki, CEO of NDF�International, has come to know exactly what�the role involves after having�overseen a long list of boundary breaking, international and critically�acclaimed films from idea to release. NDF International is well known�throughout the film industry for its�emphasis on quality independent films,�chosen on the basis of script, cast, and directors, and�commercial potential.�To date she has produced, co-produced, and executive produced such acclaimed�films as �Howard�s End�, �Crying Game�, �Naked Lunch�, �Basquiat�, �Kama Sutra:�a tale of love�, �Chinese�Box�, �Titus�, �Wilde� and �Guantanamero� which have�collectively received more than 17 Oscar�nomination, many Golden Globe awards�and countless other film festival awards. Lately, in partnership�with Ado�Yoshizaki Cassuto, she currently manages a new slate of projects in�development, with the aim�of continuing the NDF tradition of producing quality�films.<div>
