Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/American cinema task force

Welcome to the American cinema task force of WikiProject Film! This is a joint task force run between WikiProject Film and WikiProject United States.

Scope

American cinema may include not only domestic films, but also films made by American filmmakers outside of the country, films produced or co-produced by American companies, and foreign films shooting within the USA. However per Wikipedia:WikiProject Film#Scope, this task force should not include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers. Those articles are covered by adding parameters for the Actors and Filmmakers and Screenwriters projects accordingly.
