Creative consultant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Creative consultant is a credit that has - particularly in the past - been given to screenwriters who have “doctored” a movie screenplay. It is often given by producers in lieu of official credit.

The Writer's Guild of America disapproves of the credit. In 1993, the producers of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective were fined by the WGA for giving writer Steve Oedekerk a Creative Consultant credit.^{[citation needed]}
