Another title mentioned in the "Thanks" section - Movie connection, Crazy credits..?

Hi.

I came across with a documentary that has some names and companies listed under "thanks" credits (nothing unusual about that). However, some segments of the documentary are inspired (well, the idea is copied) by another (short) film, which is listed in the credits (under "thanks"). The director and the title are listed.

Should I add this to the "Crazy credits", or maybe even to "Movie connection" (the latter seems a bit stretch)? And the name of the director to the "Thanks" section?

( Note, that no actual footage of this "another documentary" is included. Both share one same/similar idea, so hence the "thanks" credit. )

Hi eboy -

Can you clarify exactly how the credit is displayed on-screen?

First the name of the director, then the title below that. Basically situated under the ”Thanks” section of the end credits.

In other words, the filmmakers are thanking (and acknowledging) another film that inspired them. Not in that many words, but still.
