EOC Week 8: The Producers most important role

There are many types of producers when it comes to movies. Executive, line, associate, the list goes on. But at the end of the day your supervision is key to whatever position you may have. A producers job isn't always the most creative one but it is what helps keep the production afloat. Without your executive producer you would have a hard time finding and managing the budget for your movie. A standard producer is in charge of things like helping find cast and crew along with some other logistical aspects. Line producers are actually on set and make sure that each day runs smoothly and helps coordinate. And then you could have a associate producer who could be a part of everything or nothing at all at the same time. The role of a producer isn't always the most glamorous but in order to make your film happen you better believe that there role is important. When it comes to smaller productions the perfect producer is someone who will find the funds for your film, have a strong direction and knowledge for what needs to be done to make the film, good judgment when hiring cast and crew, and be a great organizer. The producer may not be on the screen but without them you wouldn't be watching anything in the first place.
