Sure, I can tell you about my responsibilities... I monitor all outgoing and incoming expenses for the production on the slate... the Executive Producer is the one who secures the financing, ensures the integrity of the financing equity, and ensures the financing agents' profits from the picture are accurately disbursed to them.. also, the Executive Producer is responsible, along with the Director and the Director of Photography, to view the 'dailies' to make sure the 'look' of the picture is quality and that the sound, lighting and other technical components are as they should be... these are some of the Executive Producer's responsibilities... the Executive Producer also takes a principle part in negotiations with the film distributors, and is a key component in the negotiations with the pre-sales prior to the release of the picture... pre-sales means the sales of DVD and video sales worldwide, as well as television broadcast pre-sales if the motion picture is able to capture that market stream as well... there are also Producers, Associate Producers, and Assistant Producers, each with a different and specific task during the production of the project... to what credits are you referring? If you're talking about the two novels listed at the bottom of the personal info, yes I wrote both those novels... no credits are "handed out as reward" to anyone at this studio, everyone has a job and gets paid accordingly... did that help some?

I should also mention that the caterers are very important, without the caterers everyone on the set would have to starve or bring tuna fish sandwiches to work every day... very often, much of a film, particularly the initial photography, is done many miles from a convenient place for so many people to drive off and get lunch and come back to the set without wasting the better part of the day's natural lighting... therefore, caterers bring in three, sometimes four meals a day, especially when filming is done in the evening, a second dinner could also be scheduled... for six weeks of photography, the catering bill can easily run over $200K...
