Remove incorrect video shown on IMDB page?

Hello,

There is a video trailer that automatically plays at the top of my IMDb page when you visit it. However, this video completely misrepresents my profession, credits (and career) and I am wondering how it can be removed (aside from getting a premium IMDbPro subscription.)

The video is from a micro budget student film from 16 years ago (!) that I am credited as one of four writers. However, I am a professional cinematographer (not a writer) and I did not shoot this film. However, when someone visits my page, they are immediately and falsely given the impression that this student film is my camera work. 

I have reconciled myself to the idea that my "Known For" credits cannot be changed, although they are not representative of my career, but this video is simply false, and is actively undermining my position in the industry. 

Please tell me how I can address this frustrating issue.

Thank you,
David
