Adding some short-film credits from the not-to-distant past

Hello there, I am a professional actor who has worked in the business for over twenty five years. I have some great credits already listed, but I want to put up some short films that I have acted in the past. I also have some shorts that I have written and made also. These titles go back to the early nineties and on through to 2003. Some of the films were shot on 16mm film and some shot digitally, but all were edited and completed and some had screenings, either in London or Los Angeles, and Europe. These films had proper professional crews and budgets and I think deserve a listing on IMDB, if only for the other people who worked so hard on the projects and have continued to work in the industry. Any help with my plight would be greatly appreciated. I love this site and am very pleased that it is here on-line. I am not on IMDB Pro right now, but of course would be willing to join if that would make it easier to get these credits up and running. Thank you so much. Joseph Rye

If the short films you're talking about have been released to the public in some form, either through public screenings, video release, TV, etc, then they can be added to the site. Check this page to determine if the titles you have in mind are eligible for inclusion: http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?ti... How the movies were shot is of less importance than whether or not they are or have been available to the public.

For the titles that are eligible, you then need to use the New Title Submission Form (FAQ about adding a new title here: http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?ti...) for each of the titles. First time out it is a bit of a clunky and tiresome job, but it is pretty well explained during the process, and with several question marks that give you more tips if you click on them, and once you've done it a couple of times it is a quite straightforward task.

Try it out, and don't hesitate to ask if you run into problems or need help determining if a title is eligible or not, etc.
