Iss ja sagennnnhaft, was hier abgeht. Ich sach da jetzt ma nicht soooo viel, erlaube mir aber doch, die amtliche Definition des “Executive Producer” anzukleben.
Vielleicht hilft das ja weiter;-)

Executive producer is a major role in the entertainment industry but one that is ambiguous and often difficult to define clearly. Executive producers vary in involvement, responsibility and power. Some executive producers have hands-on control over every aspect of production, some supervise the producers of a project, some manage the financial aspect of the project, while others are involved in name only.
