line producer

Production money manager

A line producer handles the day-to-day logistics of a film or television production, managing the budget, schedule, and crew.

While executive producers secure financing and creative producers shape content, the line producer keeps the actual shoot running—solving problems, controlling costs, and making sure everything stays on track: The line producer had to find a new location after permits fell through.
