So if I get it in the contract, I'm good to go as the director even though my involvement happened exclusively in post. I mean to say is that kosher with the industry? He could've nixed everything and or I could've blown it all up, moving the film back to square one. We both had to agree to...

That's pretty much what I negotiated with this last one...but with modifiers Produced and Directed by________ Post Production Direction by_______ ...but it's unusual crediting. Not to mention a mouth full. I'm cool with "co-directed by" but why don't we see that much in docs? Or do you?

Continue editing films of all genres, whatever gets put in front of me. But I'm not an editor that is anything special, that is a straight-forward technical editor. It drives me crazy, and I suck at cutting without a cause other then just hammering together someone else's structures. I want...

Who is directing a documentary in the end? While I do shoot, I have created whatever I've created through the process of editing. Here's the set-up to my topic question... 2 years ago, I responded to a request for the position of editor on a documentary film. The "director" of this film had...
