Another word for producer in this sense is facilitator. He gets the money, scouts the locations, gathers together all the props, hires the director, buys the film, Hires all the personnel. He does just about anything the director does not.

The producer is the owner of intellectual rights to the entertainment production he creates. He is the boss. He hired, purchased materials and has the authority to use a storyline, whether he wrote the script, the script is in the public domain or he bought the script as an asset. Any profits from a production go to the producer. Clint Eastwood is someone I admire. He started from the beginning to be his own producer.

Original content is a very expensive proposition. Some cable episodes are considered a bargain if they can be done for around $1 million a week.
