Data Issues & Policy Discussions

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

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.

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

​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.
