Filmmaker political contributions from Maryland

Filmmaker and Maryland as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FILMMAKER and donor state MD produce $247,554, 338 contributions, and 13 donors. The occupation hub is $5,442,487, 22,735 contributions, and 765 donors. Maryland’s dollar share is about 4.5%; contribution share about 1.5% (338 of 22,735); donor share about 1.7% (13 of 765). Thirteen Maryland donors are about 1.7% of 765 national donors; 338 contributions are about 1.5% of 22,735 national rows; dollars are about 4.6% of $5,442,487.

DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, and ACTRESS, if used, sit in other hubs. Maryland also has an Actress occupation tie; those dollars are a different join. Do not stack FILMMAKER with DIRECTOR or ACTRESS into a single Maryland professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

13 Maryland donors produced 338 contributions, about 26.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 29.7 rows per donor nationally (22,735 contributions from 765 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Maryland cell is about $732, against about $239 nationwide. Maryland’s about 4.6% dollar share from 13 donors is a concentrated slice of a mid-volume occupation.

FILMMAKER as a creative-title string

FILMMAKER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a credit, a guild card, or a production company. The $5,442,487 national total is FILMMAKER only. 765 donors produced 22,735 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 22,735 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland (MD). Seven hundred sixty-five national donors make this a modest occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MD.

Maryland on the state side

13 Maryland donors produced 338 contributions totaling $247,554. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. MD is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Maryland production, and not a map of which campaigns received the $247,554.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only FILMMAKER. The Filmmaker occupation hub without Maryland still holds about 95.5% of the $5,442,487. Maryland’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MD. FILMMAKER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count productions, merge actress dollars, or claim that Filmmaker-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. FILMMAKER is not DIRECTOR even when one person used both titles on different forms.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FILMMAKER is not a guild extract. Donor state MD is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Production companies are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Filmmaker filter

Subtract the Maryland dollars on this page from the national FILMMAKER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded FILMMAKER in every other state combined. That remainder ($5,194,933) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 13 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 338 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $247,554 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maryland dollars, or only the FILMMAKER national total, drops a key. Thirteen donors holding about 4.6% of occupation dollars is the fact to keep next to the $247,554 headline.
