IMDb staff: Please approve this correction to a movie credit

IMDb Staff: I must have triggered some kind of block against any further edits to this film credit, since I needed to make several changes in a step by step process to get to a fully accurate credit, and I screwed up one of those steps, thus necessitating multiple contributions. 

Can you please approve the submission?

Here are the details.

Your Comment
I have watched the film and verified that the character is listed as Filmmaker and the actor as Anonymous. Here is a screenshot of the on-screen credits. https://imgur.com/mfCsaTD

Your contribution has been declined.We did not capture a specific reason during processing.

For full disclosure, I should note that some other unknown contributor indicated in the Trivia for this film that the character is named "Chris Chambers," but having viewed the film myself I can assure you that that name is never used a single time anywhere in the film. By all outward appearances, this seems to be a case of the actor deciding his character's name and listing it on IMDb after the film was released. Or it could be a contributor misinterpeting the character's name, since the same actor has that character name in another film he was in. At any rate, I don't think it's allowed to assign a name to a character after the film is released. Here, the only name given to this character is "Filmmaker" and the only acting credit is given to "Anonymous."

Hey keyword_expert!

 

The system actually detected all submissions for this as duplicates since it was uploaded several times before the first one was processed.
