- 1Plural of filmmaker.

Note
The -s goes on the end because maker is the head of the compound; film only says what kind of maker, so it never takes a plural of its own (never filmsmakers). The singular covers both producers and directors of films, so the plural can name a mixed group in one word, as in a panel of filmmakers that includes both.
