apart from the obvious, what is the difference between a producer and a director?

The Director has the creative vision for a film... He plans out the look, chooses actors, works with all creative teams.  A Producer is the planner/money man...  He works the business teams, schedules production events, etc.

Marketing, marketing, marketing. Movie producers make stories from books as appealing to a general audience as possible. Hence, characters are changed, plots are redone, and the entire story takes on a whole new life. Books are often inner-reflective, meaning that we get inside a character's head and their inner thoughts much more. You can't do that in film unless you have the character constantly narrating which would be very annoying. Movies take a more precise story due to time and in doing so lots of things are cut out and things adapted to adhere better to actors and directors who may be attached to the project.

I see it as each gender having a different role.  It's like a movie; do we get upset that the directors aren't on stage like the actors are?  Maybe we should get to see the directors and producers on screen all throughout the movie.  But we all understand that the actors and directors have a different job and we know that in order for a movie to be amazing it needs great producers, directors, lighting technicians, makeup artists, NOT just great actors.  No one would say the actors are more important than the producers just because they are the visible ones.  Same in the Bible, just because the men are written about more, doesn't mean they are more important.  [I am only talking about the "Old Testament" since that is all I have knowledge of].  So I don't see the number of women Prophetesses mentioned, implying that they are of lesser importance.  In fact maybe they were more important.  As frequently, the women of the Bible were orchestrators of great events in History.

Short answer?\n\nAll you need to be a producer is an idea and the drive to make it happen. Seriously, it's that simple.\n\nLong answer?\n\nFirst you need a script. Is one written yet? If not, write it. If you can't write, hire someone to do it for you. Don't even have an idea for a story? Go buy one. Obtain the rights to someone else's story. Option an already written script. Don't see one you like? Pick a book you like and buy the rights to that. Or someone's life story. Or an old television series you want to make into a film. Doesn't matter how you do it, just get a script.\n\nOkay, now what? Well, to make a movie you need money. Are you rich? Pay for the movie yourself. Aren't rich? Well, now you have two options. Make friends with someone who *is* rich and have him pay for the production. Or make friends with a lot of people who aren't rich, but will give you a few bucks to help out. Don't want to be an indie producer? Go to Hollywood and talk to a studio. If they like your idea then *they'll* pay for the production.\n\nOnce your movie is in the can, you need a release. First, you need prints - copies of your movie to give to theaters. You budgeted for that earlier, right? And advertising, gotta let people know about the movie, right? If you're indie, that's all your responsibility. If you're studio, there are people to handle it. Either way, guess what... now you're a producer. Welcome to the movies.\n\n(btw - that was all about creative producing. there's also *line* producing, which is more about actual physical production than project development. feel free to email me if you have questions.)

I would suggest looking at colleges that have a good film program!  The only person that I know of that broke into the film industry from nothing beforehand, is Quentin Tarantino.  He was a video store clerk before Reservoir Dogs put him on the map!  Its best to go to school and learn what you need to learn, and then work your way up the ladder!   For the mostpart, producers typically are the people that finance the film, so unless you are mega rich, thats not something that you are going to be able to just jump in and do.  Best of luck, if you make it big, cast me in one of your movies.  :)

The difference between them are the Major motion pictures usualy cost more and have alot af familer actors/actressesin it and an Independent Film usualy is based on something the had happened where ever they lived.  Like See Grace Fly is a Canadian independent film and is based on This brother in search of his siter who left their home right after their mother died.  It's a christion based film.  one of the Actors in it is PAul Mcgillion and He stares in Stargate Atlantis.  So you probubly have never heard of him.

A programmer is a person who writes the lines of codes of a computer program.\n\nA developer is a person who designs designs the logic for and writes software.\n\nThe major difference is that the programmer doesn't design the software, s/he writes the code as directed by the developer. The developer can do both things.\n\nMany developers started as programmers and "graduated" so to speak with experience and training in design and development.

When you say "run", if you mean the day-to-day operations on the set with the cast & crew, you are the Unit Production Manager. If you mean by "run", that it is your show and you helped create it, cast it and sell it to the networks for what is called a "license Fee", then you are called a Show Runner in the biz, or Executive Producer would be your official title to the public.

I would like to own my own production company one day. I will graduate from college this coming December with my bachelors in arts and concentration in film and video. I hopefully want to make movies but I know the movie industry is tough to break into. Thank you for asking!
