CoProduzent

CoProduzent (often written CoProduzent or Co-Produzent; commonly translated as co-producer) is a production role in film, television, and other media. The term denotes a participant who shares responsibility for the development, financing, production, or distribution of a project with one or more primary producers. In practice, a CoProduzent may contribute intellectual input and capital, or provide services such as development, location scouting, or post-production coordination. The exact duties are defined by contract and can vary substantially between projects and industries.

Credit and status: A co-producer is typically listed on credits as Co-Producer; the level of involvement may range from budget oversight to creative decision-making. In some cases, the title indicates distinct equity participation or a formal partnership in a production company; in others, it is a service arrangement where a company provides production services for a fee.

Relationship to other roles: Co-producers work alongside executive producers, producers, and line producers. The executive producer often oversees financing and business strategy; the line producer handles day-to-day operations; the co-producer's responsibilities are a mix and depend on the contract.

In international co-productions, the term can denote a partner from another country contributing funds or production resources; such arrangements may receive public support or tax incentives; the specifics depend on co-production treaties and local laws.
