Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 71407" data-attributes="member: 57167">To my understanding the difference between a producer and a director is that the producer is involved in the business side of things while the director is involved in the creative side of things.Let me give you some examples, a producer is the one who negotiate contracts, make a budget and keep track of it, raise money for the production, pitch ideas/sell it to the network, communicate with the writers, can fire and hire people and over all keep track of all aspects of the production. Without the producer there wouldn't be a show.The director works closer to the actors and are a part of the creative process that goes on when you take something from the script and make it come to life in front of the camera. The director makes sure that the cast is informed of where and when they are going to film, make a shooting schedule for which order to film the scenes, decide where the camera angles are supposed to be when you are filming, communicate with the sound team and encourage the cast and help them perfect their performances.I don't know what the difference is between being an executive producer and a producer.</blockquote>
