A film producer is a type of producer{disambiguation}who creates the conditions for making movies and he is like a soldier in the battlefield" since he is considered the Chief of Staff while the director is is in charge of the line,under this arrangement the producer has overall control of the project and can terminate the director,but the director actually makes the film.

The "line producer" is thus a producer who assists with day-to-day financial and production concerns"on the line"as the film is being made{that`s me}.

The producer initiates ,coordinates,supervises and controls matters such as raising funding,hiring key personnel,and arranging for distributors.The producer is involved throughout all-phases of the filmmaking process from development to completion of a project.In the American film industry the producer has the greatest degree of control despite the fact that marketing and advertising accentuates the role of the director.
