ENTERTAINMENT CREDITS

A writer is anyone who puts pen to paper, whether for enjoyment, artistic talent, creative outlet. In entertainment, a writer provides the words the talent uses in television, film, radio or on stage. A freelance writer is simply a writer who acts as a small business or independent contractor; s/he sets his own pace, seeks out his own work, and pays no one but himself.



A director is responsible for overseeing every creative aspect of a project, from start to finish. From the "look" of it to atmosphere or mood, When a director reads a script he or she develops a personal vision for how that story should be told. Whether it is a dark tale, a story of triumph, or one of passion, the director's unique vision will be responsible for presenting it in a way that no other director would. A director sees beyond the words on the page to a moving picture with specific angles or scenes, lighting, mood, nuance and emotion -- all visually created for the audience.


An executive producer is someone who is either financing a project, or is representing a studio or entity that is financing a project. Entertainment projects can have multiple backers, and therefore more than one executive producer is possible. Executive producers -- often referred to as "the suits" because of their formal attire -- some EPs do not have any entertainment-making experience at all---JUST MONEY.
