[Developers] Creating new Relationships

[Christian Hirsch]

I am getting the "story_by" property using a simple query like this:

{
  "query" : {
    "*" : [],
    "id" : "movieID",
    "type" : "/film/film"
  }
}

the answer looks like:
"result": {
      "story_by": [...],
      "directed_by": [...],
      "starring": [...

I couldn't get the "/film/film/story_by" property from that response... what
am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Christian
