This is the first collection of original critical essays devoted to
exploring the misunderstood, neglected and frequently caricatured
role played by the film producer. The editors' introduction
provides a conceptual and methodological overview, arguing that the
producer's complex and multifaceted role is crucial to a film's
success or failure. The collection is divided into three sections
where detailed individual essays explore a broad range of
contrasting producers working in different historical,
geographical, generic and industrial contexts. Rather than suggest
there is a single type of producer, the collection analyses the
rich variety of roles producers play, providing fascinating and
informative insights into how the film industry actually works.
This groundbreaking collection challenges several of the
conventional orthodoxies of film studies, providing a new approach
that will become required reading for scholars and students.
