There is a fake movie on imdb

Driftwood (2016) found here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5754434/?ref_=ra_gb_ln is not a real movie. It is a troll-prank by a group of Alberta tech support workers to see how little information is required to have a fake film posted on the website. It features the names of bit-workers in their non-film related workplace as a joke.

The "movie" was never released, screened anywhere or made available for any type of purchase because it is not a real movie. The tag line "the ultimate independent Canadian movie" is a joke specifically referencing the scam.

The actors with real credits did not participate in the prank, and the "actors" with no credits are staff at the tech agency (J.G.)

How can this film be removed from the website?

The Patrick Steven one is fake. I don't know about the American one. No doubt using a title for a real movie released in USA the same year is a a ruse to bring legitimacy to the troll project.

@agof hahaha.

Ok, but does that mean I can submit 25 years of my father's vacation home movies? If so, I am an accredited actor with thousands of credits, and my dad is one of the most prolific film makers out there.
