Executive Producer: In major productions, usually a representative, if not the CEO, of a motion picture production company that is producing a film, although the title may be given as an honorarium to a major investor. Often oversees the financial, administrative, and creative aspects of production, though not technical aspects. In smaller companies or independent projects, may be synonymous with Creator/Writer. Producer: the "classic" definition of producer who typically has the greatest involvement and oversight among a film's various producers. In smaller companies or independent projects, may be the equivalent of the Executive Producer. Co-Producer: A producer who generally reports to the (Executive) Producer and is more involved in the day-to-day production. In independent projects, the title connotes an involvement in the inception of the production.

Often, a title granted as a courtesy or to one who made a major financial or creative contribution to the production. Jul 28 06, 5:17 AM

Line Producer: Oversees a film's budget and day-to-day activities Production supervisor : Usually performs managerial duties on one aspect of the production. Production manager: The production management team (often consisting of a production manager and any number of assistants) is responsible for co-ordinating the various sub-disciplines (scenic, wardrobe, lighting, sound, etc.) of any large theatrical presentation, as well as overseeing the stage management team. In most professional theaters the production manager is the highest ranking person on the production staff and answers directly to the general manager and or/artistic director. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_producer Jul 28 06, 5:17 AM
