A documentary producer is the person who makes a documentary film happen. The producer may have to act as a manager, a financier, a visionary and an entrepreneur. Sometimes they’re directors, cinematographers and writers. These are the people in charge of all aspects of making a documentary film. Generating the money to make a film is one of the most important parts of a documentary producer’s job. The producer has to secure all the funding for the movie, hire all the people needed and make sure the project is finished on time and without going over budget.
