THE ROLE

Essentially team leaders, they are supported by production assistants, coordinators and managers, depending on the size of the project.

Producers work closely with directors and the other production staff on the shoot. Increasingly, they need to have directing skills themselves. They are responsible for keeping production within the allocated budget.

Creative input varies, but producers may have the ultimate say on the final product.
