Producers most imoprtant role

The producer's most important role is to keep the production moving, handle the production finance, and keep up with the legalities of the production. What does this all mean? Keeping the production schedule on time is key to making sure that the production finishes within a timely manner. this allows the production to actually get finished. Finances are a quintessential component in the production as a whole.  Without keeping up with the financial the production could spiral out of control or even collapse costing the production company more money in the end.  Keeping detailed records of location, talent, and other legal is key to keeping the project both on track and legal or free from being sued or shut down. These three parts only a few jobs of a producer, but I feel are the most important when considering a project.
