Executive Producers are not required to be on set unless they are also acting in the project. The Executive Producers’ role deals strictly with the business side of things. In other words, Executive Producers help to finance the film. For big-budget films, an Executive Producer provides primary financial support, which means they invest their own capital (legally defined as 25% of the project's overall funding) to ensure the project’s success. The average budget for a box office film starts at $200k. ACHI Studios has drastically reduced this budget to successfully create 2 independent films for under $20k, making it possible for the average entrepreneur to market their business on the big screen.
