In My Image is finally on IMDB

[Scotness]

It only took 10 years - but it's finally got an entry - I didn't pursue it that hard years ago, but at least it's finally there now - the full cast and crew credits are yet to come

But anyway if anyone wants to vent their spleen on it - go ahead and write a review!

"In My Image" is there, but no images (or anything else really). Well, at least there's something. On the other hand, a production in which I was involved (barely) was shown only in one theater as far as I know and was on there like the day it was released.

The rules over what makes something qualify for IMDB have changed considerably over the years. Ten years ago when we made IMI it used to be that the film had screened somewhere significant, but a few years ago when IMDB bought withoutabox (or probably when Amazon bought both of them) you just had to have submitted a film to a festival that was on withoutabox and they gave you an IMDB page regardless of the whether or not the film was even picked in the festival or screened at all. And to be fair to IMDB they need to maintain the integrity of the information of their database, otherwise it could be fraudulently filled with people trying to fill out their resumes!

When IMI premiered I submitted it to IMDB but they evidently thought the screening wasn't significant enough so they wouldn't list it and kept asking me for more information to make the film qualify. Eventually I gave up - and since subsequently I've had some other films submitted to festivals they've either decided I'm legitimate, or they have changed their policies - because IMI still hasn't screened anywhere else, or been submitted to any festivals.

They actually have all the cast and crew and other shooting information - but they have different teams of people assessing that as opposed to the title itself - so hopefully that information will appear soon - or I'll go back and try and add it in.

It'd be great to have a listing up before a film screened and that's something I'm going to work on for my next feature - as I think you really need that to maximise the interest a film has when it comes out - so people can have a place to discuss and find out more about the film. Interest can trail off pretty quickly too I think - you really only have once chance to make a first impression and you need everything you can to help you when you've got it
