Please add a Set Decoration member credits tab so we don't have to add our credits to the Art Department member tab ..For instance, an Assistant Set decorator would be hired by the Set Decorator not the Production Designer or the Art Director...

Does anybody else find it strange that there is no classification for the Grip Department in the crew listing on a Film or TV Show? The Grips are found in a category of Camera and Electric. While Grips work closely with the Camera and Electric departments, they are a separate and well recognized dep

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.

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

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

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
