Silent film composers

I was commissioned to compose music for the silent film Little Annie Rooney (imdb.com/title/tt0016028/fullcredits), which was shown in theaters and broadcast on TCM this year; the soundtrack was also released on iTunes this year. I tried to get my credit added with the attribution (2016) but it was

Shorts incorrectly listed as wide theatrical releases

In the thread at https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/no-actors-credits, IMDb staffer Marv encouraged people to suggest ways to deal with short films being incorrectly submitted with release dates without attributes. A release date with no attribute is supposed to mean a wide release (which, in t

treat videos like photos and allow tags for only the videos actor appears in

Hey, there. I'd like to suggest an idea. Treat videos like photos on IMDb. When a production uploads a photo, just the actors appearing in that photo are tagged. It doesn't make any sense that every actor and crew member in every video uploaded by a production is tagged, whether they are in the vide

Searchable Occupation database

I have been updating cast and crew in some films recently. One problem I have with crew members is that sometimes it is not obvious to which department the occupation given belongs. Not being a professional in the film/ TV industry, many of these job titles make little sense to me (scan and shoot, d

Editing Images - How to change stills to 'behind the scenes'

When editing images I have noticed some say 'Still of ------ in ------', some say '---- in ----' and some say '----- behind the scenes of ------' how do you change the categories of these images? One example is that this image http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4035560704/nm3389576?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_bts_10

Any plans to allow adult images (with strict rules)?

Hello, I worked and am still working on various movies and series that could be categorized as softcore and others as explicit erotica/adult movies. So I'm not talking here about close-up/hardcore/no-story-needed porn videos (even though I also work on some of those). At the moment, getting images a

Allow series-level release dates

Ever since the introduction of episode pages it has not been possible to directly add a release date to the main page of a TV series. I would like this to change: - It would let users easily find a list of the earliest release dates in the place they are used to finding them for other kinds of title

Non-binary actors on IMDB

Hello, I think IMDB should honour non-binary acting people with a relevant tag instead of actor/actress. Maybe another name, like "acting person" or something reflecting the fact that they're non-binary. As an example please see the profile of Asia Kate Dillon tagged as "actress" while they are iden
