I could be wrong, but I’ve always likened the producer to the contractor in a construction project, except in this case its a movie production. The producer puts all the right people together and bears responsibility for the end result. The executive producer is kinda like the bank providing the capital. Sometimes you’ll note there is a producer who is also an executive producer or is part of a team of several executive producers. Executive is just who puts the money up while producer is a lot more hands-on with the process. There is no hard line between functions though….
