codirecting
Sharing directorial duties
Codirecting is the act of directing a film, play, or other production jointly with one or more other directors.
The prefix co- signals shared responsibility, with creative decisions made collaboratively rather than by a single vision.
They've been codirecting documentaries together for over a decade.
The practice is common when directors bring complementary skills or when a project's scope benefits from divided labor.
