Ive never been able to wrap my head about what a producer for a movie or a game does, but they get lots of attention when a project is being made.
Maybe if it was explained like I was five I might get it.

The producer is like a fixer. A director wants to do something, the producer goes and figures it out. So he needs connections in the industry to find the experts to organize the set (in terms of design and such) to bring the proper production value, so it doesn’t look cheap. A director is there to organize the performance and the cinematography while the shooting is being done.
When the shooting is over, in many cases the producer is who handles the cut, what take is included, how it is organized, what effects are included and where. They will work with the director, but their input might be crucial, as the studio will take their cut. That’s why the directors cut is usually longer, the producer had to cut scenes to fit the needs of the studio.
