What Producer Does What

Film credits often have producers, creative producers, executive producers, and similar titles that can confuse a layperson. Here is a quick primer:

1. The Executive Producer is the one who invested all the money in the project.
2. The Producer is more in line with the director's vision, and is there to solve real-world problems during production.
3. The Line Producer runs the operation of the film production, working with payroll, insurance and vendors.
4. The Creative Producer works directly with the director and hatches ideas, creative elements and creative collaborators that make or break the movie.
