producer credit
Behind-scenes recognition
A producer credit is the acknowledgment given to someone who helped finance, develop, or oversee a film, television show, album, or other creative project.
The specific title—producer, executive producer, co-producer, associate producer—signals different levels of involvement, though in practice these distinctions vary widely by industry and project.
Credits are often negotiated as part of compensation: She took a smaller fee in exchange for a producer credit.
