What film producer donors give in federal races

A small production pool under $5.0M

$5,007,741 is the occupation-level dollar total. 10,679 is the itemization count. 449 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $469. Mean dollars per donor record are about $11,153. Repeat giving is about 24 itemizations per donor record.

449 donor records is a narrower pool than many professional-title strings with similar dollars. The per-donor mean of about $11,153 sits well above typical support-staff keys in this harvest band. The line count of 10,679 still shows substantial repeat itemizing rather than a handful of gifts.

These means are not typical-check estimates and not a measure of production budgets allocated to politics. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no guild field, and no studio-versus-independent split.

Film producer is not filmmaker and not producer

FILMMAKER, PRODUCER, and EXECUTIVE PRODUCER — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to FILM PRODUCER. This page cites only $5,007,741, 10,679 contributions, and 449 donors.

The FEC does not verify PGA membership, festival credits, or production-company filings. Television producers who typed FILM PRODUCER, documentary producers, and people using the phrase as a catch-all can all appear. Occupation is the donor’s word on that line, published as reported on FEC.gov.

What the dollars do not measure

$5,007,741 is not a Hollywood PAC total and not box-office revenue. Industry pages group employers. A freelance film producer and a studio staff producer share this occupation string if they typed FILM PRODUCER. Adding occupation dollars to an entertainment industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.

Party is not stored in the occupation column. Recipient committees are a different join. Open the FILM PRODUCER occupation page for recipient rows. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $5.0M.

Reading 449 donor records without a guild list

449 donor records used FILM PRODUCER on at least one matching itemization. That is not a Producers Guild roster. Retired producers, students who typed the title, and spouses listed with a partner’s occupation can appear. Address variants can split one person across donor records.

A contributor who listed FILM PRODUCER on some gifts and FILMMAKER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 24-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof of 449 unique people each giving 24 times.

How to cite FILM PRODUCER on FEC schedules

A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals FILM PRODUCER, dollars equal $5,007,741, contributions equal 10,679, donors equal 449. Name FEC Form 3/3X itemizations as the source. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Use the occupations index to compare FILM PRODUCER with FILMMAKER without merging them. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $5,007,741. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($5.0M) match $5,007,741 rounded to one decimal place.

FILM PRODUCER as concentrated creative text

FILM PRODUCER in this extract is $5,007,741 on 10,679 itemizations from 449 donor records, or $5.0M in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $469 per contribution and about $11,153 per donor record, with roughly 24 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. FILMMAKER and PRODUCER remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to FILM PRODUCER. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $5,007,741. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals FILM PRODUCER, dollars equal $5,007,741, contributions equal 10,679, donors equal 449. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the concentrated shape of FILM PRODUCER. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
