Hi. I was communicating with Col Needham on Facebook yesterday and mentioned an issue I've been trying to solve on my feature film's IMDB PAGE.
He suggested the best way to resolve would be to post a conversation on this board.
My film is called ALTERED MINDS (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2124959/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) It was released theatrically and on VOD on November 18th, 2015, but the release date says 2013 on the top of my film's page.
The film never came out in 2013 so this has been very misleading to the industry and the press. As a matter of fact, my frustration reached a head a few weeks ago when a radio interviewer asked one of my cast members "Why has the film been around so long?" This incorrect release date has also impacted the industry's perception of my film being "old" such that my distributor, Gravitas, has had to explain to platforms like Netflix that the film is still "new"
I would so much appreciate if you could change the date from 2013 to 2016.
Thank you.

And that is what I'm disagreeing with and would ask Col Needham to change. The release date is when a movie comes out in the marketplace. To the film industry and people in general, when they ask you when was it released, it's never the first screening. As a matter of fact there are plenty of titles on IMDB--both indie and studio that have release dates in parenthesis that accurately reflect when the film came out and doesn't include the festival screenings.
Could you please show this email and my appeal to Col Needham and ask if he can change the main date in parenthesis to 2015. Again, this is affecting the business of my film...perception in the industry is everything...as a matter of fact, many platforms grab 2013 as release date of the film and again, that hurts our bottom line.
I appreciate if IMDB could seriously consider my situation.
Best,

Mike, I am not a member of IMDb staff. I am one of the thousands of helpers here.
I think you will find IMDb will not change the date from 2013 to 2016 as the film was first shown to an audience in 2013.
The release date on DVD I see is 2016 on Amazon.
