codirectors
Shared creative leaders
Codirectors are two or more people who share directorial responsibility for a film, play, organization, or other enterprise.
The term implies equal authority rather than a hierarchy: The codirectors split duties, with one handling actors and the other managing technical aspects.
Some films credit codirectors when creative vision is genuinely collaborative.
