Lets say you bring in a Producer for your Independent film. And Financing is secured, who really controls who gets paid what??? Is it the Director / Writer who's idea it was too bring said Producer on, or is it the Producer who has a say??
who controls finance
- Thread starter derek smith
- Start date
It depends.
It's usually a combination of the producer, production manager, investors and agents depending on which roles. When people are brought on, there's usually some negotiating as part of the process, at least for the major roles. Some rates are just union rates, unless you're talking a non-union shoot.
There are no real rules. Just what usually happens.

I was going to hire a Freelance Producer...but I am meeting an Entertainment Lawyer next week, so will have a better idea of my next step. I want to raise the money without involving a Production Company, which is why i'm looking to go down the 'Freelance' route if required
