I am trying to add cast members to my short film "Home" and it keeps saying they need an episode listing to proceed. This is not a series. I'm not sure how to fix this. Thank you!

The title is listed as a television series. See photo. You will need to change this before you can continue to add cast.

BTW, as an FYI, listing a title enclosed in double quotation markes designates it as a TV show. That is what needs to be corrected.

To add to what was said, you cannot have a title that is within double quotes, as that designates a TV Series. So you need to change the title. The closest permissible option would be to replace the double quotes (") with single quotes (').

I think your best option would be to submit a Title Correction changing it to 'Home' (2014). Note that when you do this you will get a warning message stating :
There is a mismatch between the title type of the old and new titles.
Are you certain that you wanted to change the type of the title as well as its spelling? Please see IMDb's guidelines on title formats if you are not sure.
This is what you want to do, so check the box beside Warning understood, go ahead anyway, and Re-check.

Changing double quotes to single quotes is a change from 'exactly as shown on screen' that is acceptable to IMDb.
