"Mr. Big" and "Head Honcho" are euphemisms for "the person who is actually in charge", or the boss.
"Director" and "Showrunner" are job titles you'd have on your resume. In the case of the showrunner, they're directly involved in day to day stuff. I've heard interviews in which showrunners say their job involves making 500 snap decisions every day: "which fabric swatch should we use? is it worth an extra $80k to film in this location?" that kind of thing. I guess the software equivalent would be a product manager? In Kathleen Kennedy's case, as head of Lucasfilm, she's making big decisions on everything, but likely not micromanaging individual decisions. So, she'd be the CTO or equivalent.
- jacobr1 4y agoShowrunner isn't a job title though. Most likely the actual title on the resume would most likely be "Executive Producer".
- jollybean 4y agoShowrunner is definitely job. It's something you put on your resume. 'Executive Producer' is just a credit, it doesn't mean anything really. A powerful actor participating in a film, might get an exec prod. credit, not for doing anything at all.
