What is the difference between a film producer and a director?

Answer 1

A Producer Finances (along with many other things) and hires the director and other staff, the director is in charge of the creative aspect.

Think about it this way (a good metaphor):

Two people, a director and a producer, want to make a painting.

The producer would go and purchase all of the different colors.

The director does the painting, using the colors given to him by the producer.

Often, people consider the director to be more important, but they're both very influential on the final outcome of the film.

Answer 2

Yes, directing is one aspect of film making. "Film making" refers to the whole process of making a film, from creation to completion. A "filmmaker" is someone who has a lot of influence in that process, be it a director or producer. A "director" is responsible for directing the crew and the actors, and making any necessary decisions on set. Because of that, directors are usually deeply involved in the film making process, and therefore "filmmakers." However, as is common in television, directors can be hired simply to direct on set and have little to no influence over the rest of production. In this case, even though they are directing, they are not film making. At the same time, a producer may have no experience directing whatsoever, and still be a successful filmmaker as long as he/she is actually involved in the process.
