Film Producer occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

$573,859 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation FILM PRODUCER and the 2008 presidential election cycle. That cell covers 361 receipts from 166 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $5.0 million ($5,007,741), so 2008 is 11.5% of the labeled roll. Producer without film is a shorter occupation key with its own cells. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not a PGA membership roll, a studio credits file, or a studio PAC.

Key figures

  • Film Producer × 2008: $573,859.
  • 361 receipts from 166 donors.
  • 11.5% of the $5,007,741 FILM PRODUCER total.
  • Filer-entered occupation; studio and entertainment-industry PAC filings are a different table.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by occupation and cycle.

Film Producer as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation FILM PRODUCER and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $573,859, 361 contributions, and 166 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Producer, movie producer, television producer, and executive producer are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a PGA membership roll, a studio credits file, or a studio PAC. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Film Producer donations at /occupations/film-producer/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $573,859 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Film Producer in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $573,859. Feature versus television versus independent producing is unpublished for Film Producer in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Under two hundred donor keys carrying a mid-six-figure cell is a concentrated entertainment-title stack, not a mass extras roster.

FILM PRODUCER, not generic producer

$5.0 million ($5,007,741) belongs to the exact string FILM PRODUCER across harvested cycles. It is not a PGA membership roll, a studio credits file, or a studio PAC. People who wrote nearby wording — producer, movie producer, television producer, and executive producer — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 11.5% of that title bucket ($573,859 of $5,007,741). Share of FILM PRODUCER is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $4,433,882, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $573,859. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $5,007,741. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Film Producer donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $573,859.

166 film-producer donors and 361 receipts in 2008

166 donors and 361 receipts — about 2.2 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,590; mean per donor about $3,457. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Under two hundred donor keys carrying a mid-six-figure cell is a concentrated entertainment-title stack, not a mass extras roster. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 361 is a line count, not 166 one-time gifts. Feature versus television versus independent producing is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by FILM PRODUCER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $573,859. A 2012 Film Producer cell is a different cycle join. Do not add the two presidential years.

Credits title versus studio PACs

Cite $573,859 as Film Producer in 2008. Cite $5,007,741 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add studio and entertainment-industry PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $573,859 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 11.5%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode FILM PRODUCER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Film Producer money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation FILM PRODUCER, election cycle 2008, $573,859 in itemized individual contributions, 361 receipts, and 166 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,590 per line and $3,457 per donor in the cell. If the live Film Producer donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 361 as unique workers in the trade named by FILM PRODUCER.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Film Producer donations rolls every cycle into one FILM PRODUCER running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Film Producer × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 361 receipts and $573,859. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and the 2012 Film Producer cell

The occupation hub still holds $4,433,882 outside 2008. Most of the $5,007,741 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. A 2012 Film Producer cell is a different cycle join. Do not add the two presidential years. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.2. That ratio is 361 divided by 166, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
