WikiProject Film biography is a WikiProject dedicated to building a comprehensive and detailed guide to actors and filmmakers on Wikipedia. The project, working to provide a greater focus on people in film, is an integral part of both WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Films

Goals

• To standardize all Wikipedia articles on film actors, film directors, film producers, screenwriters, cinematographers, film editors, and score composers.
• To improve Wikipedia coverage of film biographies by adding, expanding and improving film biographical related articles
• To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia film character articles

Scope

This WikiProject aims to define a standard of consistency for articles about people in world cinema, as well as film categories and templates. It also aims to encourage and provide a structure for enhancing the writing of high quality articles on all manner of different people involved in cinema.
