film producer
Cinema money person
A film producer oversees the business and organizational aspects of making a movie—securing financing, hiring key personnel, managing budgets, and coordinating production from development through distribution.
Producers range from hands-on creative collaborators to investors whose involvement is primarily financial.
An executive producer typically provides funding or secures deals rather than managing daily operations.
