filmmaker

noun

1. A producer or director of films/movies.

   “I spent a couple of months all by myself building a set and had my filmmaker friends, nonactors, play the parts.”

   “Such prissy mollycoddlings of audience expectations were shortly to come under heavyweight siege from a variety of filmmakers in the 1950s – not least the aforementioned Otto Preminger.”

   “On some level, the filmmakers behind Monster Trucks must have recognized the ill fit of Till playing a teenager, because they cast Jane Levy, a 27-year-old who can pass for younger but not a decade younger, as Meredith, a nerdy classmate of Tripp’s who moons over him as she insists on making an appointment to tutor him in biology. […] Till is somewhere on the Hemsworth spectrum (more engaging than Liam; not as charismatic at Chris), but Levy is wholly charming as his enthusiastic sidekick.”
