Producers, Executive Producers and Associate Producers wanted
Broken English Films is looking to expand online with producers, executive producers and associate producers. Are you unsure as to what all these terms mean?
Well, firstly, your run of the mill “producer” has no singular set of responsibilities. Generally the producer is the person who strings everything together. Many people argue that fact, as producers have gained notorious and exaggerated reputations, but the producer is the glue that binds the production (or show) and ultimately gets it out into the world.
The movie producer, the film producer, the television producer, whatever the title is the person who takes a script, adds on a director (sometimes the writer) and helps gather the people and finances (or financiers) to make the pre-production period, shoot and post-production work. In theory.
Their jobs are often extremely stressful and hard, having to ultimately create and then sell an original (or loosely termed “original”) piece of work. It’s very hard to specifically pinpoint what one producer does over another as depending on their staff they may have a lot more responsibility on their shoulders due to poor help, however, in essence (unless the star or director is more powerful in the industry) they’re in charge.
An “Executive Producer” in summation, provides money. Sometimes out of their own pocket, sometimes out of seeking help to get funds together. At the end of the day though, they help provide what every project needs; a budget. Of course producers do that too, but the ultimate goal of the executive producer is acquiring money.
The “Associate Producer” is essentially an assistant to the producer, helping further handle business and creative decisions. They also play a vital role in the production of a show.
Broken English Films is seeking self motivated and driven producers to help get our projects off of the ground. If interested, please contact us by filling in the form below.
