Filmography / Music Credits
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for guidance on how to submit a credit for a song I worked on in a 2004 movie. On-screen, I’m listed as a co-writer of the song, and my publishing company PWNETD is credited, but in reality I produced, recorded, and mixed the track for the band.
I have a contract with the band from that time, and BMI documentation showing usage. Given this, what credit category should I submit under to accurately reflect my role? For example, would “Music Producer” be appropriate, or should it be limited to “Writer”?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hi, hkpwnetd:
First you need to remember the following basic policy:
.
Therefore, without knowing further information, your credit is likely to be confined to the Soundtrack section. If so, the entry should reflect what the on-screen credits say, hence you should be listed as a co-writer of the song only. Currently, in accordance with the guidelines, only composers or performers (unlike producers, recordists or mixers) seem to be eligible for an (uncredited) entry in that section.
