Hi, montazer. Welcome to the IMDb Community forum! What Sandy stated earlier is basically correct, but there is more to be explained. For instance, the films would have to be published elsewhere ahead of time. See please what I told Behrouz, regarding short movies (at Sprinklr comment 63c7df758a78b24108747108):

The short videos of yours that don't already respectively have individual IMDb title pages for them would have to first be published somewhere (else), perhaps YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, ВКонкатке VKonkatke, or 哔哩哔哩 Bilibili, or something like those, better yet Amazon streaming service or MUBI. (I do believe two of the aforementioned services charge a fee for this purpose.) If the short videos meet the title eligibility criteria, which is largely very inclusive, then IMDb title pages for them can be created. For the ones that already have their own pages on IMDb, you should probably be more than welcome to apply for and utilize IMDb Title Scorecard in order to upload entire "movies" of yours to the corresponding title video galleries on IMDb.

The same thing applies to feature-length films. For Scorecard, the lack of monetization is an important thing of which to be mindful. I'm not sure about how monetization works for the content available viewing on Amazon streaming services, free without ads for Prime subscribers, or content available for viewing on Freevee (free with ads). Also, it is not entirely clear how exactly to transfer streaming availability from Prime to Freevee, for those expecting to have their movies viewable sort of through the IMDb website.
