executive producing

Bankrolling creative projects

Executive producing is overseeing a film, television show, or other media project at a high level—securing funding, hiring key personnel, or lending one's name to attract attention—without necessarily being involved in day-to-day creative decisions.

The role varies widely: some executive producers shape every aspect of production, while others provide financing or prestige and little else.

She's been executive producing documentaries for Netflix.
