Other Crew section of credits actually split into departments
I find it really frustrating that there are still major departments that are listed as "other crew" on the IMDb credits. I get that there are some departments that are small like Environmental or Franchise and harder to categorise so they would get put in there but for departments like Production or

Film Commissioner ---> Location Management
A few years back, I helped advise on the formerly miscellaneous crew job positions that needed to be migrated into the new location management category, but I noticed today that we missed a major one. Could you please assist now with moving "film commissioner" (and all of its iterations, such as "fi

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT - Deserve their own IMDB Category
It still baffles me how the team in the Production Management Department - those that do all the hiring of equipment, obtain Certificates of Insurance, deal with Auto Loss and Worker's Compensation, Production Rep[orts, legalities, budgets and are usually having to be the kicked in the dirt undermin

more departments to better cover video games
I appreciate that IMDB is primarily a movie/tv dbase, but it does have support for, and a LOT of entries of, Video games. However whilst there is a lot of crossover job roles for departments, there are a lot of roles that just have to get lumped into 'additional crew' which seems a bit of a shame an

Set Decoration as its own category
We, as Set Decorators, and those who work with us in our (own unique) department, would like to be separate from the Art Department. The Set Decorator, as a department head, makes his or her own hiring decisions and our crew members should be grouped with us, please.

Technology Departments In Productions.
I want your thoughts on getting a 'Technology' Department added as part of a production. Currently any member of a Technology Department on a production can only be part of 'Other crew' or 'miscellaneous'. More and more productions are now including a technology department which are playing a pivota

Separate crew department categories please!
I love IMDB and use it a lot for research and as an easy verifiable way to show my own credits to perspective employers. Truly a great website for movie people that I use almost daily. I have one bone to pick and I am hoping someone from IMDB can help me to understand why this is and if perhaps ther

Script Supervisors Feel Cheated
We are NOT "miscellaneous crew", but because IMDB calls us that anyway, our "known for" sections are a complete disaster. As a script supervisor in film/tv, I have one of the most important jobs on set. Any entertainment industry professional can vouch for that. During production, it's me, the direc

Production Crew - that deserve their own Catagory - it is about time!
I am writing on behalf of the Department of the Film Industry that everyone forgets. They are the backbone of every production and, as most of these crew members are not seen, they are forgotten. Where does the call sheet come from that gets into your inbox for your next filming day? Where does t
