Everybody wants to make movies—and to make movies, you need producers.

It’s no wonder that when aspiring filmmakers search for established producers on databases like IMDb, they look to see which person was instrumental in bringing certain films to life. Simply put, one looks to collaborate with whoever has the most and best-fitting producer credits, connoting the most relevant experience and contacts in getting a film developed, packaged, and funded, a prerequisite to making the film at all.
Executive producer, creative producer, associate producer, and line producer are all offshoots of the all-important producer role, suggesting that the credited individual was indispensable during the arduous quest towards bringing a film from an idea into a theater or television screen.
