2012 cycle money from Filmmaker-coded donors

Filmmaker receipts isolated to 2012

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation FILMMAKER and the 2012 election cycle. The intersection is $412,604, 361 contributions, and 141 donors. 7.6% of Filmmaker occupation dollars ($5,442,487) fall in 2012.

2012 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2012 on FEC.gov, a presidential-year FEC window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2012 dollars. FILMMAKER is a one-word occupation covering directing, producing, and independent work as filers typed it. DIRECTOR and PRODUCER remain other keys. The join does not verify credits or union status. Documentary, narrative, and commercial filmmakers can share this label. This cell keeps FILMMAKER and does not recode ACTOR or ACTRESS into the bucket.

$5,442,487 is the Filmmaker all-cycle total

On the occupation side, $5,442,487 is the Filmmaker total across cycles. Sibling labels (DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, and FILM DIRECTOR) stay on other pages. Filmmaker is not a DGA membership roll, a credits database, or a guild PAC.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $5,442,487. The Filmmaker donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $412,604 is a slice of. Dividing $412,604 by 361 receipts yields about $1,143 per line; dividing by 141 donors yields about $2,926 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

2012 cycle dollars versus the Filmmaker occupation total

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Filmmaker. $412,604 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2012. A presidential-year FEC window. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a 2014 midterm cycle.

361 contributions from 141 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.6 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $1,143; mean per donor about $2,926. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $412,604. Three numbers define the Filmmaker × 2012 cell: dollars $412,604, contribution rows 361, unique donors 141. Share of occupation dollars is 7.6% of $5,442,487.

Public-record limits for Filmmaker in 2012

Matching Filmmaker with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Filmmaker donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a DGA membership roll, a credits database, or a guild PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FILMMAKER is a one-word occupation covering directing, producing, and independent work as filers typed it. DIRECTOR and PRODUCER remain other keys. The join does not verify credits or union status. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $412,604 funded USAspending obligations. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Filmmaker donations hub is $5,442,487; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Filmmaker and 2012 tables

Filmmaker donations holds the $5,442,487 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Filmmaker. All occupations places FILMMAKER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, and FILM DIRECTOR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $412,604 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Filmmaker dollars ($5,442,487). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $412,604, 361 contributions, 141 donors, 7.6% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Keep FILMMAKER as the occupation key and 2012 as the cycle key when joining files. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if a later extract disagrees with $412,604.

Filmmaker 2012 versus other LobbyVault cuts

Occupation-by-state joins for Filmmaker are different pages and different dollars. This tie is occupation-by-cycle. $412,604 is not a state total and not a committee total.

All FEC ties is the inventory for those other pairs. All occupations is the inventory for titles. Neither page should be summed into $412,604.
