Get Your Independent Movie Listed on IMDB

Here is how you can get your independent film listed in IMDB. An example can be seen at this IMDB profile: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2725788.

Steps

  1. Burn 2 copies of your completed movie on DVD, and put these in some kind of case.
  2. Register with www.createspace.com
  3. Follow the instructions to get your film title listed on CreateSpace. You will need to send the 2 DVD copies.
  4. Wait about two to six weeks (usually two to three, actually; but sometimes they get backed up). Once your title is registered with CreateSpace, it will get a listing on Amazon.com (which just happens to own the IMDB)
  5. Go to the IMDB New Title Form at http://www.imdb.com/updates?update=title and enter all the information you have for your title.
  6. You must have a website for your film otherwise it will not be listed.
  7. Wait. It usually takes about two to six weeks from there.
