I run the show, when the show is a movie set. I manage the budget and hire the key creative people and, during the shoot, marshall the forces, make sure the right people and equipment are in the right place at the right time and that director is able to get his days’ shot list done. 

If the director doesn’t get his day done or the star actor won’t come out of his trailer, I am the one who has to call and break the news to the studio. I never want to have to make that call.

They are the line producer.
