Key figures
- FILM PRODUCER itemizations sum to $5,007,741 ($5.0M) from 10,679 contributions and 449 donors.

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.
