Re: Ask Prospero anything...thread
Prospero, as someone who has made films, I noted in one of the extras to Hunger the interviewer asked Laura Hastings-Smith what does a producer do?
We can rate actors and directors quite easily because their work is so immediately obvious, but how do you rate a producer, and who do you think have been the best producers of films? Fictional and documentary.

I will respond to your question later Stavros. Not got that much time now. Producers, in short, pull the whole thing together - raise money, hire directors, read scripts, oversee budget of projects and much more. They're unsung heroes. (I would say that as a producer) Then there are executive producers.... and associate producers etc. But their is no precise job description - and many documentaries are made by producer-directors, many producers are entirely hands-off people, others very hands-on (go on location shoots re-writ scripts, write scrpts, do research etc etc). More anon.
