Encyclopedic overview

Executive producer (EP) is one of the top positions in the production of media such as films, television, music, radio, or video games. In films, the executive producer generally contributes to the film's budget and their involvement depends on the project, with some simply securing funds and others being involved in the filmmaking process. In general, the film producer is more involved in the hands-on production of the film. In television, executive producers are sometimes involved with the production in a hands-on capacity, but their roles are highly variable. In music, the executive producer is responsible for business decisions. Depending on the medium, the executive producer may also be concerned with legal issues.
