How much money do Moive Directors make?

Question

How much do movie Producers and Directors make for a motion picture film?

Answer 1

Now 32, George has directed two feature films, a TV pilot, and guest spots on episodic TV shows. Which should mean he's rolling in the proverbial dough. Or maybe not. "One of the toughest parts of the job is the financial instability," George said matter-of-factly. "You don't know what you'll be making year to year." In 1998, he cleared a whopping mid-six figures. Last year, however, he only made $10,000. "It all depends. You could be making $50,000 a week on one show, then the next you're doing for free because you really want to do the project. The philosophy is, if you keep doing what you love, eventually it will pay off."
