Topic: how to break into IMDb

A pretty well-along project I'm working on has been trying to get a film listing on IMDb.com for months now.  For some reason they keep asking for more info, and then rejecting the request anyway.  Latest was a firm, verifiable release date.

I've seen many projects get up there that have no where near as much actual filmed material as we've got, so what are they doing that we're not? Do you have to have a 'pro' account? Is there a casting couch somewhere?

Usually they say it has to have a trailer and have been in a film festival. Not sure what the reality is, I've never added a project to IMDb, just credits.

That's a helpful way to think about it.  We may have to pay the pro piper and submit the thing as 'in develoment' and see how that goes.
