What are the roles of a movie producer?

From what I understand, the movie produce supports the film making in terms of money, hiring the really "important" people involved in making the movie, and helping to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Here's a fairly concise definition: "A film producer oversees the making of movies. The producer initiates, coordinates, supervises and controls matters such as raising funding, hiring key personnel, and arranging for distributors. The producer is involved throughout all phases of the filmmaking process from inception to completion of a project." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_producer Jun 28 07, 4:00 AM

A producer is a person who gets involved in a production from beginning of the project till the end. The role of a producer can vary as per the job, depending upon the industry and the type of production crew. However, a producer is extremely important if it is a matter of film making. Their efforts are judged and recognized by the industry. They are often highly involved in financing the projects and are responsible for securing funding as well as managing the finances for a particular project. http://www.whatisall.com/people/what-is-a-producer.html Apr 11 13, 5:24 AM
