Of all the job titles listed in the opening and closing screen credits, producer is
certainly the most amorphous. There are businessmen (and women)-producers, writer-director-
and movie-star-producers; producers who work for the studio; executive producers whose
reputation and industry clout alone gets a project financed (though their day-to-day
participation in the project may be negligible). The job title, regardless of the
actual work involved, warrants a great deal of prestige in the film business; it is
the credited producers, after all, who collect the Oscar for Best Picture. But what
producers do and what they don't or won't do varies from project to project. Producing
is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles that producers
have played in Hollywood, from the dawn of the twentieth century to the present day.
It introduces readers to the colorful figures who helped to define and reimagine the
producer's role, including inventors like Thomas Edison, moguls like Darryl F. Zanuck,
entrepreneurs like Walt Disney, and mavericks like Roger Corman. Readers also get
an inside look at the less glamorous jobs producers have often performed: shepherding
projects through many years of development, securing financial backers, and supervising
movie shoots
