Agreed, how many marketing people can you name from Hollywood? Me, zero. But you can probably name some of the people who created the movie (actors, directors, producers, musicians, etc....)

I don't know many producers, maybe with the exception of the Broccoli family who are producing James Bond :) I know some directors of photography, though, because their work is defines an aesthetic characteristic of movies. However I was/am a film buzz for a long time and don't think the layman will know any directors of photography.

Related it's also interesting that in German the directory of photography is only called a "Kameramann" (camera guy) while the English term emphasizes their "directing". And it's true. They are typically not the ones operating the camera but have operators for that like "focus pullers".

Sorry, I got carried a away with the topic a little bit :)

The (film) camera dept, led by the cinematographer, encompasses the camera operators, the electricians led by the Gaffer, the grips led by the key grip, and the camera assistants which includes loaders and focus pullers.

I knew of Jerry Bruckheimer, Joel Silver, and Kathleen Kennedy. They were realtively famous in the past. Not sure if there are any famous producers now
