The producer is often actively involved throughout all major phases of the filmmaking process, from inception and development to completion and delivery of a film project. However, an idea or concept for a film can originate with any individual, including a screenwriter, a director or a producer.
Producers also oversee the overall conditions for making the movie, sometimes as union signatories. The approval involves following strict guidelines as outlined by unionized organizations such as the Directors Guild of America (DGA) or Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
Some would consider the producer as the Chief of Staff while directors are in charge beginning at principal photography. This "staff and line" organization mirrors that of most large corporations and many military structures. Even though the director's role is to oversee the film's making, the producer has overall control of the project and can even terminate the director under severe situations such as schedule or budget overruns. Sometimes the causes are diverging artistic directions or personality clashes.
After the film is complete, they arrange for distribution. The producer would also collect any Best Picture Academy Award in the televised ceremony.
Associate Producers and Co-Producers are also separate from the role of producer. They also support the producer to some degree, although not to the extent of an executive producer.
A Line Producer is a hands-on role which controls the day-to-day financial and production concerns and is there to support the vision of the director during production.

From 1981 until 1986 she worked on various live action documentary films. In 1986 she produced her first animation in nearly a decade by scratching on 70mm color film and reshooting it on 35mm. "Two Sisters" (1990) won the award for best short film at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 1991. In 2004 she co-directed "Suite for freedom" (her part was called "Slavery"). It was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2004.
She worked as an animator/director at the NFB until 1991.

Paige began his screen career in 1934. His handsome features and assured speaking voice earned him prominent roles in motion pictures, such as ''Cain and Mabel'' with Clark Gable and Marion Davies. In 1936, to avoid confusion with another rising leading man, John Payne, Paige briefly adopted the screen name "David Carlyle." He worked primarily for Warner Brothers and Republic Pictures during this period.
In 1938 he signed a contract with Columbia Pictures, which changed his screen name to Robert Paige. Columbia cast him in "B" features and starred him in one serial, ''Flying G-Men''. When the Columbia contract lapsed, Paige moved to Paramount Pictures and finally found a home in 1941 at Universal Pictures. Robert Paige quickly became one of Universal's reliable stars, playing romantic leads. He is prominent in many of Universal's comedies and musicals, including those of Abbott and Costello, Olsen and Johnson, Gloria Jean, and Hugh Herbert. He had a good singing voice and a flair for comedy, and the studio capitalized on these talents. Beginning in 1943 Universal gave Paige important roles in its biggest productions, but by then he was so established as a B-picture lead that he never quite graduated to mega-stardom. Paige, along with other contract players, left Universal after a corporate shakeup in 1946.
He became an independent film producer in 1947 and entered the new field of television. He was the last permanent host of NBC's variety series ''The Colgate Comedy Hour'', and won an Emmy in 1955 for "Best Male Personality" (a category that no longer exists). In the 1960s he became a TV newscaster in Los Angeles.
Paige continued to work in occasional films through 1963; his last two films were ''The Marriage-Go-Round'' (1961) and ''Bye Bye Birdie'' (1963). From 1966 to 1970 Paige was a newscaster and political correspondent for ABC News in Los Angeles. He left the news desk to become Deputy Supervisor of Los Angeles under Baxter Ward, and then moved into the public relations field. He retired in the late 1970s.
Robert Paige died suddenly of an aortic aneurysm in 1987.

Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez de Pinault (; born September 2, 1966) is a Mexican film actress, director and producer. She received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her role as Frida Kahlo in the film ''Frida''.
Hayek had a starring part opposite Matthew Perry in the 1997 romantic comedy ''Fools Rush In''. She followed her role in ''Desperado'' with a brief role as a vampire queen in ''From Dusk Till Dawn'', in which she performed a table-top snake dance. In 1999, she co-starred in Will Smith's big-budget ''Wild Wild West'', and played a supporting role in Kevin Smith's ''Dogma''. In 2000, Hayek had an uncredited acting part opposite Benicio del Toro in ''Traffic''. In 2003, she reprised her role from ''Desperado'' by appearing in ''Once Upon a Time in Mexico'', the final film of the ''Mariachi Trilogy''.
''Frida'', co-produced by Hayek, was released in 2002. Starring Hayek as Frida Kahlo, and Alfred Molina as her unfaithful husband, Diego Rivera, the film was directed by Julie Taymor and featured an entourage of stars in supporting and minor roles (Valeria Golino, Ashley Judd, Edward Norton, Geoffrey Rush) and cameos (Antonio Banderas). She earned a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for her performance.
''In the Time of the Butterflies'' is a 2001 feature film based on the Julia Álvarez book of the same name, covering the lives of the Mirabal sisters. In the movie, Salma Hayek plays one of the sisters, Minerva, and Edward James Olmos plays the Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo whom the sisters opposed.
In 2003, Hayek produced and directed ''The Maldonado Miracle'', a Showtime movie based on the book of the same name, winning her a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in a Children/Youth/Family Special. In December 2005, she directed a music video for Prince, titled "Te Amo Corazon" ("I love you, sweetheart") that featured Mia Maestro.
Hayek was an executive producer of ''Ugly Betty'', a television series that aired around the world from 2006 to 2010. Hayek adapted the series for American television with Ben Silverman, who acquired the rights and scripts from the Colombian telenovela ''Yo Soy Betty La Fea'' in 2001. Originally intended as a half hour sitcom for NBC in 2004, the project would later be picked up by ABC for the 2006–2007 season with Silvio Horta also producing. Hayek guest-starred on ''Ugly Betty'' as Sofia Reyes, a magazine editor. She also had a cameo playing an actress in the telenovela within the show. The show won a Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy Series in 2007. Hayek's performance as Sofia resulted in a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards.
In April 2007, Hayek finalized negotiations with MGM to become the CEO of her own Latin themed film production company, Ventanarosa. The following month, she signed a two year deal with ABC for Ventanarosa to develop projects for the network.
Hayek stars as the wife of Adam Sandler in ''Grown Ups'', which also co-stars Chris Rock and Kevin James. Hayek is set to co-star with Antonio Banderas in the ''Shrek'' spin-off film ''Puss in Boots'' as the voice of the character Kitty Softpaws, who serves as Puss' female counterpart and love interest.
Hayek has been a spokesperson for Avon cosmetics since February 2004. She formerly was a spokesperson for Revlon in 1998. In 2001, she modeled for Chopard and was featured in 2006 Campari adverts, photographed by Mario Testino. On April 3, 2009, she helped introduce La Doña, a watch by Cartier inspired by fellow Mexican actress María Félix.
Hayek was also featured in a series of Spanish language commercials for Lincoln cars.
On March 9, 2007, Hayek confirmed her engagement to French billionaire and PPR CEO François-Henri Pinault as well as her pregnancy. On September 21, 2007, she gave birth to daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. On July 18, 2008, Hayek and Pinault announced the end of their engagement. They later reconciled and were married on Valentine's Day, 2009 in Paris. On April 25, 2009, they were married a second time in Venice.
In July 2011, Hayek's husband was named in a paternity case. According to reports, Pinault is the father of supermodel Linda Evangelista's four-year-old son, Augustin James. He denied all allegations.
Since the birth of her daughter, Hayek has worked to help mothers in developing nations worldwide, teaming up with Pampers and UNICEF to help stop the spread of life-threatening maternal and neonatal tetanus. She is a global spokesperson for the Pampers/UNICEF partnership 1 Pack = 1 Vaccine to help raise awareness of the program.
Hayek also advocates breastfeeding. During a UNICEF fact-finding trip to Sierra Leone, she breastfed a hungry week-old baby whose mother could not produce milk.
In 2010, Hayek's humanitarian work earned her a nomination for the VH1 Do Something Awards.
In July 2007, ''The Hollywood Reporter'' ranked Hayek fourth in their inaugural Latino Power 50, a list of the most powerful members of the Hollywood Latino community. That same month, a poll found Hayek to be the "sexiest celebrity" out of a field of 3,000 celebrities (male and female); according to the poll, "65 percent of the U.S. population would use the term 'sexy' to describe her". In 2008, she was awarded the Women in Film Lucy Award in recognition of her excellence and innovation in her creative works that have enhanced the perception of women through the medium of television In December of that year, ''Entertainment Weekly'' ranked Hayek number 17 in their list of the "25 Smartest People in TV."
