Movie credits often list a number of different producers, but rarely is it clear what exactly each contributed to the film. Producing encompasses a range of roles, and in some cases, one person wears all the hats. In most cases, however, the roles are divided and shared amongst different people, each with a different title. They may also secure additional financing and handle accounting and legal issues. Producers often have experience from across the entertainment industry. Some producers started as actors, while others have experience as writers, directors, agents, or as studio executives.
