{{quote|''"A producer is the guy that tells the artist what to do and later makes all the changes, and then, when the cartoon's done, he takes all the credit!"''|'''Stimpy''', ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]''}}
The producer is the 'commander in chief' of a given project. What does that mean? Well...
Quite simply, the producer is/are the person/persons that makes the project "happen". "No producer" equals "no film". They are the financial and creative backbone of a given project -- they secure funding (or fund the work themselves), hire key personnel, arrange for distributors, and manage the day-to-day operations of the production (such as writing up shooting schedules, booking off-set filming locations, and keeping the project as a whole within budget and on-schedule). And if the film is lucky enough to win the [[Academy Award]] for Best Picture, the producer accepts the Oscar.
There are many different varieties of "producer", and each has its own responsibility in the film industry. A ''consulting producer'' will usually be a specialist in a particular field of study, and will assist the writers with technical accuracy. An ''executive producer'' is usually a studio representative, providing the majority of the funding that keeps the project going (and reporting any cost overruns to the studio heads). An ''assistant producer'' is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly that]]. An ''associate producer'' is a title used to cover a variety of duties, such as being liaison when two production companies are involved in a fliming.<ref> "''Someone'' has to associate with the producer! Hyuk hyuk hyuk!"</ref>.
