IMDB NOT RECOGNIZING TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM PRODUCERS STARRING NAME ACTORS
IMDB is being extremely difficult. We have shot six films in two years, everything gets bought and distributed - I am a legitimate producer. When I announce a project, IMDB wants additional proof - for some reason my word is not good enough. Fine, you want an URL, I give you an URL to our website - and this usually works. But now, for some reason, they continue to deny our latest title announcement of a romantic comedy, starring well-known celebrity names in the space. They keep asking for additional proof - well we don't have a distributor yet, although we have several networks and distributors who want to see it once we are out of Post. This is a simple endeavor - this movie has been shot, starring these actors, and it is in Post, and yes it is already announced on our website. What more do you want??? We do not release any BTS etc until the buyers do their PR push - so you can't have any of that.
To make matters worse - I've asked you to remove a title of a project that I, myself, was supposed to write. I'm telling you the project is canceled and needs to be removed, I never wrote it, we pulled the funding, we went a different direction. I've asked you to post a title, and to remove a title, all of which I am the de facto authority on - and somehow IMDB won't do that.
Update:
The title is denied AGAIN. Says you need a third party link or an explanation in the "explanation for missing information box". I provided a link, and there is no box for explanation of missing information - this box doesn't exist at all.
I have explained in one of the mandatory information boxes - I am the Executive Producer and the film is in Post-Production. There is no more we can do here - it's VERY strange IMDB won't announce this title as you have so simply in the past. There is a name cast, an URL with a still that shows some of the main characters, and a list of very experienced producers named for the submission. Subsequently we will add more crew, and they can add themselves, but for now this is an early announcement. Please tell me why this is so hard for IMDB to accept.
Resubmitted yet again, here is the contribution #: 220227-191557-361000

Hi aceiswho -
I just reviewed your recent re-submission and can confirm the the new title was approved and is now listed on the site.
Concerning the title you have reported as being cancelled, can you post the IMDb title link here and our staff can take a look?
Cheers!
