(QUESTION for THE COMMUNITY): The poll results are in and are unanimous! 100% of 26 votes, out of 3000 views, determined that it is not professionally acceptable for a production company to act as described in the previous poll below! Thanks to everyone for participating. ** NOW I'D LIKE TO ASK a FOLLOWUP QUESTION **: In an instance where said production company has already cited independent producer's film as part of their development research, and located, reached out to and interviewed subject based on seeing that filmmaker's completed work.... would it be acceptable for filmmaker to CLAIM a RESEARCHER CREDIT on that 3rd party project, even though the other project is still in development and that 3rd party never proactively made contact with filmmaker?
