Context, like bibtex, interprets "An Author" as "First Last", "Author,
An" being the explicit form, useful when the last name contains several
components.
The APA style, that you use, abbreviates the first names. Thus, "An
Author" gets rendered correctly as Author, A. and "Somebody Else" as
Else, S.

producer= and director= are treated as names for @film{} in the APA
specification.

We can easily add a booksubtitle field to the specification, to be
handled like title/subtitle.

The abbreviation is followed by a space. You suggest that they should
be treated specially, not like the end of a sentence. This does not
only pertain to bibliographies. How is this generally done in
TeX/Context for any abbreviations anywhere? (I wouldn't know... ;-)
