I often get asked, especially by new clients, “What does a producer actually do, and why do I need one?” I also hear the familiar refrain from creators, directors, or writers who want to produce their own projects. While it’s perfectly fine to be involved in the production side of your project, taking on the full responsibilities of a producer is no small feat. It’s a challenging role that requires patience and readiness—staying prepared so you don’t have to scramble at the last minute is my motto.
For example, with a great producer, a small budget of $500 can easily transform into a $50,000 product. Conversely, a $100 budget can look like $1,000 simply by utilizing the right resources and effectively allocating funds. Many filmmakers approach their projects with the mindset of securing the largest budget possible first. While funding can be challenging, it can certainly be achieved with the right assembly and structure to move your project into some form of pre-production. Often, funding parties want to see some tangible material before they agree to invest.
Remember: "In production, you’re crafting a ‘product’—and every great product needs a producer."
If it’s your own project, I recommend starting with self-funding, especially if you’re eager to take your vision from concept to reality. Find a producer who knows how to navigate your production needs effectively.
Now, you might wonder about the difference between an Executive Producer and a Producer. The Executive Producer typically makes high-level decisions, much like a president issuing executive orders. However, when it comes to the production department, it’s crucial to coordinate those executive plans to ensure they align with the project’s goals. The Executive Producer may also be responsible for funding and approving the project’s release. There are many facets to executive production, from administering plans to providing guidance throughout the production process.
Producers, on the other hand, are the go-getters of the operation, managing cast, crew, and daily logistics. Every solid production team requires strong producers—after all, the term “produce” is central to production. A producer understands how to navigate every aspect of production and can wear multiple hats as needed. This versatility is essential for any project that aims for organization and smooth transitions.
And a quick note to all my editors or those seeking editing services: It’s best to have your editor on set and involved in production meetings. This ensures they are aligned with the storyline, rather than inundating them with footage and script notes afterward. Including them in the process will lead to a much smoother turnaround.
