In Progress

Double credits

Hey!


On my IMDB page under directed by I have a Short film called (Because One day)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10485062/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_t_5

I submitted to a film festival and now I have a second credit under (Canadian film festival) for the same film. The festival simply showed my film, but now I have a directed by credit for the festival which I had no part in creating, assisting or doing anything at all. 
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12235964/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_c_4

I've tried to remove this credit countless times but it just remains there.

Any help?

Hi @ArefMahabadi -

This is an interesting situation, typically when a released film re-airs as an episode under a series banner, we list that title as a 'shell episode' (which means that we would not list any credits on the page to prevent duplication).  In this case, it appears that your short film re-aired within an episode among several other short titles, and your credit was listed as a 'segment'.

I have reached out to the appropriate team to confirm if this situation should also be treated as a "shell", once I confirm I will follow-up here with the details.
