What is the difference between an executive producer and a line producer?
An executive producer is responsible for the overall concept, design and creative vision of a given production, such as a film, video, event or meeting. A line producer is responsible for the details of executing that production. An executive producer gets all the credit. A line producer gets all the blame. An executive producer paints in broad strokes, thinks “big picture” and gets paids lots of money. A line producer doesn’t get to paint anything, worries about a million details, and if all goes well, gets to keep his/her job.
