IMDb refuses to update the release date of our film

We have a short film that has yet to be released, but our page has the release date of a private screening we hosted. Several members of our team have submitted updates to correct this but the updates just won't go through. As a result our release year is shown as last year when it shouldn't be as we have not released our film at any festival, theatre or online. This has been quite frustrating for us, how can we get this corrected or speak to someone from IMDb directly about this? Contribution number: #250430-215903-484000

king: Please post the 18-digit submission reference number of your last data submission here. That will enable the IMDb staff to look it up and give you an answer as to whether your correction was overlooked by mistake.

Hi kingkincan- Thank you for posting the submission reference number! Further reviewing, this release date has now been corrected and the changes will be live on the site shortly. You can update the release when the information becomes available. Cheers!

Hi Maya, for some reason the release year keeps changing back to the wrong date. I keep submitting updates, it changes for a bit and then changes back to the wrong year. I've sent links to a festival page showing our world premiere date and despite that the year keeps going back to 2024 instead of staying as 2025. Is there a way to permanently have this fixed and not constantly see the wrong information on the page?

Several members of our team have submitted updates to correct this but the updates just won't go through. As a result our release year is shown as last year when it shouldn't be as our premiere date was in September 2025. This has been quite frustrating for us, because last time I made a post about this, the release date was eventually changed. But then shortly after, it just reverted back to being 2024.
