A film I did in 2015 has been conflated with another project. They used my title, the details are all meshed together. Someone is playing me and my friend who died. How can I have this amended or taken down? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4598996/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Hello, Jamie.
It is unlikely that was done with malicious intent: such cases usually happen by accident when someone adds a similar title with identical name. Please wait for IMDb staff to look into this. It would help to fasten the process if you'd show exactly what information does not belong on the page.
Side note: since it is a fiction short instead of "Himself" roles should rather be a repeat of the name, usual procedure for fictionalized versions.

Hello Nikolay,
Thanks for reply. Yeah I doubt it was malicious, it's just one of those frustrating things. I had the title first so the second film should not have been allowed to co-opted by another production.
They should have had to use an alternative title. My name is featured several times. My friends name seems to be gone. But they still have my tagline, and technical information relating to shooting location etc.
My title was not for a fiction short, it was a short documentary. The information published is a hybrid of someone else's making.

Jamie Matthew Dearden, sorry for a belated answer: had a few rather busy days.
Firtunately, it's a fairly rare occurrence I only remember producing mistake once out of 629 title I've added so far. Glad to see it resloved in your case!
