On IMDB, when you look up something like Knockaround Guys, it lists the written by as "Brian Koppelman & David Levien" but under the directed by, it just has their names in a list with no & or "and."

And Yes Oli Really. Best. Writing. Ever.

Does it work that way with positions as well? For example, should I say “Written & Directed by Person A & Person B”? What I’m looking for in an indication that both people worked together on both positions.

"By the way: â€œShove it, Grace.â€? That has to be your best writing ever."

Really? I thought it was kind of offensive, even in character. Whilst the conceit worked on the other questions, I would of skipped over such a thorny issue.

You should see his other one.

Credits, credits, credits. Everyone wants their due. Does anyone ever actually fight over which name comes first? Isn’t that kind of lame and petty? (Petty & Lame?) I can’t imagine it honestly affecting the writers’ careers, or how they are perceived by the public. I wouldn’t be wandering around LA, seeing John August and going, “Oh, I don’t want to talk to HIM, he just a second billed writer, I saw it in the Corpse Bride credits. What a second rate guy. Ooh! Look! There’s Caroline Thompson!”

I heard about the prince of persia film and im a very big fan of the game and was desiding to make a short film of it with the help of the toronto film school which im am still attending and hoping to direct such a great films such a prince of persia and other video games, because i think in the past video game movies have been poorly made and it is time to start changing that.
