Not the movie or the play...

What is the deal with the opening credits of a TV show and the list of Producers, executive and other wise?

I realize that the producer is an upper level manager of the show, but do these shows need 6 or 7 or 10? What exactly do they do?

Frequently, they are the money people. They put up the funding for the movie.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

For more money, you can become an "Executive Producer". Smile

I've often wondered about the large number of producers. I seem to recall in olden days there was a producer, and a director.

I've seen on some of the Crowdfunding sites where for a certain amount of money you can be named an executive producer in the credits.

What's an associate producer credit?
