Are you highly organized? Calm and cool under pressure? Able to keep track of multiple projects at once? Good at working in groups? If you're all this and more—and the thought of helping to shoot a sci-fi thriller or sitcom sounds exciting to you—then you could be cut out for production work. While directors direct the action onstage, and actors are responsible for memorizing their lines, producers work hard to keep things running smoothly and on budget, from cast auditions to changes in the script. Producers may come across as bossy to some, but their leadership talents are highly valued in the film and TV industries, where making sure that film shoots start on time is just as important as realizing a director's artistic vision.
