2nd Unit Director/Assistant Director Should be Different Departments/Categories.
So, as ADs are completely separate to 2nd Unit Directors I fully believe that they should be able to have their separate sections. The AD department are completely different to what the 2nd Unit Director has to do.

May we please add a custom comment writing option for editors?

why does a release date need a country?
I'm adding titles from a streaming classical music site (medici.tv), and don't really understand why the release date needs a country. When a title becomes available on this site, it's available worldwide. You have a "worldwide" option for the Distribution company. Why not for the release date?

Optional extra information for each keyword
I'd like to see an option to add extra information to a keyword, as it applies to a particular title. For each keyword on a title we'd see the following checklist. We'd check the item that applies. __ (1) person, thing or visible quality (such as nudity) __ (2) person, thing or visible quality (off-
