Why Every Credited Name Gets a Profile Automatically
Recognition should not depend on being the one name people remember from a poster.
When a film is added, every credited crew member, not just the director, automatically gets a profile page, whether or not they have ever visited the site. Festival recognition has historically flowed mostly to directors, leaving composers, editors, cinematographers and sound designers with no public record of their work.
A profile shows every film the person is credited on across every festival year, along with any Top Nominee or winner marks tied to their contribution. Once claimed and verified, it becomes something the person can edit and build out themselves.
Claiming a profile requires a short verification step, so that a real industry credit cannot be claimed by someone else. Contact details stay private until a person claims their profile and chooses what to share.
