Film or Movie my  Im not seeing a distinction between filmmaker and moviemaker as it relates to the medium  anyone that has made movies on both video and film will tell you there is a big difference between the mediums  movies shot on video being referred to as a film in my opinion is inaccurate  A movie shot on film to be safe should mostly be regarded as a movie but it would not be wrong to call it a film  A movie shot entirely on video should never be referred to as a film and a person who makes movies and never shoots on film should not be referred to as a filmmaker
