Help Removing Incorrect Release Date for Unreleased Short Film
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some help with correcting the release date for my short film Don’t Make A Sound (2018). I created this project when I was 12 years old, and the film was never released in any capacity.
There was:
no public screening
no festival submission
no online upload or premiere
no distribution, physical or digital
Despite this, IMDb shows a release date of “6 May 2018 (internet)”, which is incorrect.
I’ve submitted multiple requests to remove this release date, including detailed explanations stating that the film remained unreleased and that I am the creator. However, each submission has been rejected with:
“Does not meet contribution guidelines.”
I understand IMDb normally requires evidence when correcting release information. The problem is:
there is no evidence to provide because the film was never released anywhere.
There are no links, no festival listings, and no public announcements, since the project stayed private.
Is there a way for IMDb staff or moderators to manually remove an incorrect release date when no public evidence exists? Or is there a specific process for unreleased projects?
I would really appreciate guidance on how to get the page corrected so it accurately reflects its production history.
