"A Film by" does, indeed, mean "Directed by." Unfortunately, as written, I do not see it being allowed by the rules. This, most definately, needs to be added to the crew chart. Be careful, Martian. That is customary, but it means nothing. I will not support it because with out a directed by credit it could mean almost anything, Produced by, for example. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | UIn short, James, without a matching Directed By credit, A Film by means NOTHING to Profiler, if it means something to YOU that is your local. But it means nothing to profiler and should NOT. It is merely customary and we have all seen Hollywood ignore customary too many times.

| | Posted: | | | | The problem is not all films are made in Hollywood or Hollywood productions. | | | Are you local?
This is a local shop the strangers you would bring would not understand us, our customs, our local ways. |

Neither have I, but I have seen director credits (very old films) as "a [name] production" though. Really? "A [name] production" refering to the director? That is interesting. Very interesting indeed. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
