ⓘ How this study was doneLast reviewed June 24, 2026

We took everyone whose field is Film or Film & TV, with a verified birth date, and split them by craft using their listed occupations. For each Life Path we computed its lift (share within the group ÷ share among all famous people). A craft is shown only if it has at least 12 people. Placeholder (January 1) dates are excluded.
