filmmaker

A filmmaker is someone who makes movies or videos for entertainment or information.

When people talk about filmmakers, they often mean professional directors or producers of films and TV shows. You might hear someone say "the new film by that young filmmaker" and mean a person behind the camera, making creative decisions and bringing their vision to life. The word can also refer to the person operating the cameras or equipment on set, capturing all the action for the final cut. But in general, when people talk about filmmakers, they're usually talking about someone who has made a name for themselves as a movie maker, with a feature film or popular TV show under their belt.
