: Hmmmm, have to disagree somewhat on your interpretation of what a producer does- maybe on a Hollywood hack production the producer has the vision, hired the director, etc. but that certainly isn't always the case. Especially in the area of films that are written and directed by the same person. It's generally accepted that the DIRECTOR has the vision- the producer has the business sense and the knowhow to get the show going and tie up all the loose ends and deal with all the bullshit so that the director can do his job and bring his vision to life.

Thanx, Vincent. I've always done everything myself, so I never knew what jobs were really the director's and what were the producer's. I just went by what my film books said :)
