Well, of course she didn’t become a studio founder overnight. It took Robert a little time to become successful enough to pay for it.
As an executive producer she puts her name on a project and collects a pay check. That’s what an executive producer does in film. As a producer on Robert’s films she does the little things he he’s too busy for. Robert’s an established film maker so he gets most of his funding by pitching to the studio or he just gets offers directly from studios.
Maybe he’s lying in interviews when he says things like “I’ve built up an amazing team over the years at Troublemaker…” but I don’t think so as he’s the one who spends his days working side by side with the people.
I’m not saying he’s a one man crew but it’s not accident that the only successful movies she’s been attached to were made by him.
