   Produces don't just line up finances.  They organize the logistics of   
   the whole operation.  They arrange film locations, hire and fire the   
   most important people like the director, hire the trucks to move   
   gear...the actual business end of the production.  They are usually the   
   bosses.  Someone who just lined up finances would be more likely to get   
   an executive producer credit but they can also be handed to people like   
   the holders of the intellectual property rights.
