person who makes movies
A person who makes films or movies, especially as a job, often as a director or producer.
Schéma d’usage :
[someone] is a filmmaker
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use *filmmaker* only for the person who acts in a movie, but that is an *actor*. A filmmaker is usually behind the camera and may direct, write, or produce the film. Another common mistake is writing it as two words (*film maker*) or with a hyphen (*film-maker*); modern usage strongly prefers the single word *filmmaker*. Learners also confuse *filmmaker* with *producer* or *director*; a producer handles money and organization, a director controls how the film is shot, while *filmmaker* can be a broader term for someone responsible for creating a film overall.
