auteur

n. film director, person who makes movies (especially one who has a distinctive personal style)

In film criticism, the 1950s-era auteur theory holds that a director's films reflect that director's personal creative vision, as if he or she were the primary "auteur" (the French word for "author"). In some cases, film producers are considered to have a similar "auteur" role for films that they have produced.
