Someone Created a Page for my Short Film Without My Consent and I Would Like To Take It Down
Hello -- I directed a short film which finished post production in August. Someone made an IMDb page for the film without my knowledge or consent which has completely incorrect information on it. For example, it says the film was released in June at a private screening (which is impossible since it wasn't even finished until August and we won't have a private screening until January). It also contains photos taken by our BTS photographer which were uploaded without her consent -- so it must have been someone involved in the production, but I haven't been able to find out who. The crew members' names are spelled incorrectly, and it says the budget is $21 (????). I would also like the thumbnail image to be our poster -- but instead it's some random BTS image.
We are currently submitting submitting to festivals and I am terrified because this page makes us look incredibly unprofessional. I've tried so many times to edit the information on it and flag the photos but I am continually ignored by whoever is reviewing my requests. The project being listed as already released also makes us look bad because it directly contradicts the information on our FilmFreeway page (which of course states that the project was finished in August -- with additional tweaks in October -- and hasn't been released anywhere yet).
I'm at the end of my rope and becoming increasingly desperate. I don't know what to do.

From what I know of IMDB, they won't remove the page because they don't remove factual information (it's against their policy).
But you can update the page with the correct information and desired images.
But since you mentioned that the changes were rejected, I recommend posting the code of the rejected changes so they can evaluate it and inform you of the reasons for the rejection (or correct it if it was a mistake to reject them).
