      Certain Audio Dramas have directors, it would be nice if I could enter those: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-embrace-the-darkness-2

          [STYLE-1229] Director as a relationship for audio dramas

          I added an "audio director" relationship now:

           

          https://musicbrainz.org/relationship/4e088178-ea6f-4194-a801-10b4f0f03154

           

          https://musicbrainz.org/relationship/5de30d91-3b98-4fa6-9cd4-26d80959f540

           

          I think this should solve the audiobook / audio drama case at least, so closing this ticket.

          Proposal

          The test server has been reset since my last comment, but luckily I had taken a screenshot of the chosen settings and saved the descriptions to a file on my computer. Now that I've restored the draft I'm going to save a backup as attachment and comment to this ticket.

          Description

          This indicates an artist who is responsible for the creative realization of a project, which is usually based on a written template. The project can be a film, a play, an audio drama or audiobook and involves the performance of (voice) actors.

          Documentation (Further thoughts and references)

          <p>A <strong>director</strong> (french: régisseur, german: <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regisseur">Regisseur</a>) in terms of a <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre_director">stage/theatre director</a></em>, <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_director">film director</a></em> or <em>audio drama director</em>.</p>
          
          <p>This might be similar to <a href="https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:HibiscusKazeneko/Director_relationship_type">another proposal from the Wiki</a>, but the term <em>associate director</em> is not very common in the film industry and an <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistant_director">assistant director</a></em>'s tasks are more like those of a manager/producer. The attributes <em>additional</em>, <em>guest</em> and <em>co-</em>director should be sufficient.</p>

          I have created a draft of a director artist-release relationship on the test server and wanted to share it, just in case someone is interested. Maybe there should also be a similar artist-recording releationship, but so far I haven't created one.
          Currently I'm abusing the documentation/guideline field for annotations, this text definitely has to be improved. Perhaps my definition of a (creative) director for film (rare in MB, but I've seen some), theatre (quite common) and audio drama (common, at least in Germany/UK?) is to broad, thus I would appreciate your feedback.

          Audiobooks can have director credits too, so it would definitely be nice to have this as a relationship.
          Right now I have two possibilities: Leave the credit out (and add just a scan or an annotation) or abuse the producer relationship, which I don't really want to do
