Intro

If you look at the Internet Movie Database, one of the most prolific directors over the last 70 years has been Alan Smithee. 

He has been credited with directing over 156 feature films, shorts, and music videos, with several more projects in the works. 

Despite his prodigious output, Alan Smithee has never been nominated for an award, appeared on a red carpet, or conducted an interview.

This is because Alan Smithee doesn’t exist.
