Returning Home
Please note the following:
 * 1) Returning Home (2021 film) must be written in a neutral and encyclopedic tone, and is not allowed to read as if it was written by the production firm's own marketing department. That means it cannot sound like a press release, and cannot contain content that was directly copied and pasted from a press release — it has to read like a neutral summary of the film written by somebody independent of the film, and it has to be referenced to media coverage, not to the Canadian Geographic Society's self-published content.
 * 2) I'm not going to argue with you about Tim Joyce, because he's one person and it's not worth it — but as a matter of principle, please note that our normal rule is that film infoboxes list the producer producers and not the executive producers. (Note also that there are several other roles in filmmaking that do not get listed in our infoboxes at all, including sound editors and costume designers.) So, again, the content of the infobox is governed by our rules around what roles we do or don't highlight in the infobox, not by Canadian Geographic's "orders" about who "must" be credited in our article. I'm not actually going to fight you on that, but just FYI.
 * 3) According to CIFF's website, the film opened there on September 30 — but if CIFF was the premiere, then how do we explain the fact that the film verifiably screened in two other venues before September 30? Even CIFF's website only calls it the film's Alberta premiere, and says nothing about that being the world premiere. So Canadian Geographic is certainly free to believe that for its own internal purposes, Calgary was the "official" premiere and the two prior screenings were something else — but it's not our job to follow that, our job is to ascribe the first known screening of the film with "premiere" status regardless of Canadian Geographic's desire to do differently.

The bottom line here is that the content of our article is governed by our rules around the formatting of our film articles, not by the Canadian Geographic Society's organizational marketing preferences. Bearcat (talk) 17:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
