Who's more important the Director or the Producer?

Question

Say if you were about to write a letter about his/her show....Which one would you write to?

Answer 1

Without the director you would have no vision. The director guides what is created on the stage. However without the producer you may have no director as the producer is often the one who hired the director. The producer not only gathers the money but is also making sure everyone is hired, cast and doing their jobs.



It really depends on why you are writing the letter. If you saw a show and loved the way it was done then I would write to the director as they are the ones that ultimately created what you saw on stage. If you want to make a comment on your experience as a whole, at the theatre, the show that was chosen, etc then you might want the producer.

Answer 2

It depends on who you ask, the Director or the Producer.



It would really depend on the nature of the letter you were going to write. If your question are about what you saw on the stage, the artistic choices, the performances the actors gave and that sort of thing, you would want to write to the Director. If you are interested in other aspects, you might want to write to the Producer. If you are unsure, go with the Director.

Answer 3

Well, they're pretty equal. The Director paints the picture, but the Producer is the one who gets the money to buy the paints, brushes and canvas. If you're talking about the content of the show, you need to talk to te Director. Anything else, the Producer.

Answer 4

The Director, because they are the one who have to tell the actors the motivation, tell the assistants what camera/ lens to use, and have to make sure that the movie is completed by the right time.

The producer just basically invests, and makes their investment look good, by using the skills of editors.

Answer 5

Director. They direct the whole show!

Answer 6

I'd say the director
