Associate Producer
From Hidden Frontier
In television and film production, the Associate Producer usually acts as a representative of the Producer, who may share financial, creative, or administrative responsibilities, delegated from that producer. It is often a title for an experienced film professional acting as a consultant or a title granted as a courtesy to one who makes a major financial or creative contribution to the production. According to David Mamet, "It's what you give your secretary instead of a raise."
