A lot of people wishish to become a director, DP, editor, but i never read stories in forums from/about people wanting to become producers. Its seems that no filmmaker 'dreams' of being a producer.

The quistion is, is producing considered a creative job?
I know what there job is, but its unclear how much creative "controle" they have (i dont mean the Excutive producers).

The second quistion is, who wants to becoma a producer?

Thanks

I haven't really heard of anyone who wants to be a producer either...

I don;t think I want to be a producer cuz from what I've heard they're basically just like accountants, I could be completely wrong but if im right, well you never hear anyone dreaming about being a desk jockey.

Producers play varying roles in different films, and have a varying degree of control over the creative process. Some are known for being not much more than money managers, while others are very hands-on with the production process.

Nobody wants to produce because it's not glamorous.

I've produced. It's not much fun.

You'd be amazed-- there are quite a few would be producers at our school.

I would agree that many do not dream about being a producer, because it can be an ambiguous role on a film as previously explained. I can say that my best friend wants to be a producer and in his mind it is a creative job, with the business side of things thrown in.

If you're thinking about being a producer (I certainly do!), check out these 50 tips posted on my blog:

Independent filmmakers basically produce and direct and write their films, right ??
They probably hire other people to be assistants in helping them produce.

Unless you're talking about A-list producers like Jerry Bruckheimer who all they do is produce. But I think it depends on who you are as a producer, some are involved in the creative control and others just their to put everything together for the whole film to work.
