Production department (again)

Hello,

I know this has been brought up again and again, but can there be a category for Production? We are the central nervous system for shows and that we just get swept into Miscellaneous is frankly insulting. Production Management would not be the same. I feel like this would be for UPM's and maybe supervisors?
But Production Coordinators, Assistant Coordinators, Production Secretaries, Office Production Assistants and Travel Coordinators, in my humble opinion, deserve a category of our own.

Thanks for your time!

Couldn't agree more! I was actually just searching through IMDb, looking for an outlet to voice this frustration, and found your post.

My frustration actually extends beyond just the relegation of Production to "additional crew", as there are a few depts. and positions that get swept up into that category, undeservingly so.

Production

Accounting/Payroll

Studio Executives

Security

I could go on.

"Additional Crew" acts as a catch all for all of the departments that are deemed "unimportant", and is quite frankly unacceptable.
