When I watch a show or big budget movie I’ll see half a dozen ‘executive producers’, buncha ‘producers’, tons of ‘co-producers’. Just so many sometimes. What are their roles? Is it merely an investment? Or are they doing movie related things too?

A producer is a very general term for someone who plays a key role in the making of the film. Their actual contribution to the film varies. Sometimes it’s only a monetary one, sometimes they’re involved with the script, sometimes they’re on set, sometimes they only watch some footage sent to them from the set called “dailies” and send notes. An executive producer is a top-level producer. They might be responsible for securing funding from other investors, marketing the film, and supervising the whole project. Co-producer means they were working jointly with another producer. When it comes to television, a lot of the producer credits are just writers who didn’t pen the script for that particular episode, but they were in the room coming up with ideas.
