Asia-Wide Movie Piracy Operations Net Record 6.7 Million Pirate Discs, 915 Arrests

They're core functions, however, are to assist the headlining producer in developing scripts, attaching talent, and running the day-to-day production activity. Although a handful of production companies fall under corporate studio umbrellas that cover their overhead, most work on a project-to-project basis much like the artists.
