David Duchovny é o produtor executivo da série. O que ele faz?


Basicamente, financia o projeto e ganha como produtor e ator, ficando com boa parte dos lucros quando a série entra em syndication, como entrou Arquivo X e David fez acordo com a Fox para pagar os residuos. Ou seja, o ator que ganha dinheiro e guarda pode passar a financiar e investir em seus próprios projetos e ganhar em dobro quando o projeto é vendido para outros países ou entra em reprise.


TV and movie producing are different. Movie producers are mostly about acquiring financing and keeping the budget in line. The Academy has gotten strict recently and cut down on the number of producers eligible to win the Best Picture Oscar because the quantity was getting ridiculous. That's why there were inside jokes when Little Miss Sunshine won the Independent Spirit Award - they thanked ALL their producers because the Academy only designated a few. Graham King took home the Oscar for The Departed, but Brad Grey appealed for an award and Brad Pitt's production company made the film but Pitt was ruled ineligible. Bob Yari desperately wanted an Oscar for Crash, but the Academy ruled him ineligible for his contribution.TV shows have so many producers because they're episodic by nature. In movies the director is king, in TV it's the writer who usually creates and ends up as showrunner. When the staff writers and directors are hired, they usually earn producer credits (like Kim Manners or David Amann) because they're totally involved with their episodes. In movies, the writer is lucky to be invited to the set let alone get a producing credit.The best education is to rent the DVDs of Project Greenlight and see how a movie is actually made. You'll see the line producer literally counting every penny for every shot, action, prop - line by line. Consulting producer is usually the title you give the creator who has left a series or the author of the original book. Then there are supervising producers, producers, associate producers, co-executive producers and the Executive Producer. Production Assistants are the ones that get the coffee and walk the stars' dogs.######Producers Code Of Creditshttp://www.producersguild.org/pg/about_a/pcoc.asp
