Producer

Film producers are in charge of legally representing a work and are responsible for all organizational and technical aspects of a film while complementing the director’s activity.

They hire the staff, finance the work and are in charge of making contact with publicists and distributors for the diffusion of the film.

Their task overlaps with that of the director, especially in controlling the cast and selecting the artistic team to work on the production.

It is responsible for solving two main problems, the financial one that consists of the search for financing the film and the economic problem, which defines the total recovery of the investment and the obtaining of profits.

director

The film director is the person in charge of directing a film, giving instructions to the actors, establishing the positions of the cameras, supervising the set and costumes.

He intervenes in the production of the technical script, which establishes the frame, planes, camera movements, angulation, and objectives, and in the selection of the actors and other professionals, the natural settings where the film will be shot, the final writing of the script and the sets.
