Film or Movie?== my $0.02: I'm not seeing a distinction between filmmaker and movie-maker as it relates to the medium.  anyone that has made movies on both video and film will tell you there is a big difference between the mediums.  movies shot on video being referred to as 'a film', in my opinion, is inaccurate.  A movie shot on film, to be safe, should mostly be regarded as a movie, but it would not be wrong to call it a film.  A movie shot entirely on video should never be referred to as a film and a person who makes movies and never shoots on film should not be referred to as a filmmaker.  ==
