Producing
Producers are accountable as the productions’ overall decision-makers.
Producers are at the financial, practical and creative heart of a film or TV project. Often the first to get involved, successful producers can spot the creative opportunity and commercial viability of a production, and be the driving force for its completion ‘on time, on budget’.
