Executive Film Producer

As an executive film producer, you make movies and shows happen from the business side. Day to day, you raise the money that funds a production, manage the budget, and pull together the key people, from directors to distributors, needed to get a project off the ground. You read scripts, judge which stories are worth backing, negotiate deals, and solve the countless problems that come up during a shoot. You're less focused on the day-to-day creative choices and more on protecting the investment, hitting deadlines, and making sure the finished film actually reaches an audience. You work with studios, investors, agents, and the whole production team.
