from different skills: directing, producing, writing, acting, etc.
The qualification mark would
be (LWFC). (Example:

Specialized Skills

cinematographer/actor/actress. To receive a specialized licentiate
qualification, a filmmaker must submit 5 merit points from the same
field
Example: if
you are an actress, then you have to have 5 competition awards as an
actress (not necessary from one film). If you are an editor, you
have to submit at least 5 competition merits to get your licentiate
qualification in that field.
The
qualification mark would be (LWFC-directing), (LWFC - editing), (LWFC
- special effect), etc.
