An important side note: In previous RFCs, some people mentioned a director-like credit relating to visuals, choreography, etc. That is what is commonly referred to as '''creative direction''' and we now have a separate relationship for it.
This relationship type also should '''NOT''' be used for directors of musical theatre, film, etc. In the event we ever successfully integrate audiovisual works I (or someone else) will develop a new AR for said purpose.

An important side note: In previous RFCs, some people mentioned a director-like credit relating to visuals, choreography, etc. That is what is commonly referred to as '''creative direction''' and requires a different AR.
