Morphology
The meaning 'a person responsible for overseeing and managing the production of a film' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'film' (a movie) with 'producer' (a person who finds funding and supervises a production). This straightforward noun+noun compound follows common composition patterns and occurs similarly across languages (e.g., Spanish 'productor de cine'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Film producer comes from producer, from the verb 'produce', which means 'to make' or 'bring together'. A film producer gathers the money, people and plans so a movie can be made, so the name means 'the person who makes the film happen'.
