A film producer is a person who oversees film production. Either employed by a production company or working independently, producers plan and coordinate various aspects of film production, such as selecting the script; coordinating writing, directing, and editing; and arranging financing.

Stumping up money, doing nothing and having no input into the content or the vetting of its accuracy, is a handout. Having your name in credits as a producer is effectively a misrepresentation designed for profit. I welcome any new projects on the Zodiac case, but this doesn’t come across correctly. It would be much better just asking for donations (absent of how big or small), without the selling angle.

Money is part of it.

Patreon is probably a better model for funding Youtube videos.

https://www.patreon.com

You can set up subscription levels and offer tiers of rewards. A lot of Youtubers use it.

Is this a joke?

Your first post since Feb. 1 and it’s something rude.

I wonder if Margie and Company will have a fit?

This is about as cheesy an offer as I’ve ever seen in my life. Are you kidding me? Just pay money to get a credit? You don’t have to have any knowledge of the case or any ability to be a researcher? Now I know why you’re a multiple non Oscar nominated and non Oscar winning documentary maker. How much did that guy who sounds like he is strung out on drugs pay you to narrate? Sorry I called him a robot. It’s clearly a guy who’s on Valium.

Asking for payment just to be credited on an extremely low quality podcast with minimal production values is basically a scam.
