I am credited as a Production Assistant on a short film from 2013, but my name in this credit links to someone else with the same name.

How can I get this changed across to me instead?  I tried going in to change it, but the only 'Jeremy Garner'' listed is the one that isn't me!

Any thoughts?

Thanks all.

P.S. Short film is Tom (2013) @ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2715292/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_11

There are several ways to correct this error. My suggested steps are below.

Go to the title page and click the yellow Edit page button.

On the Updating Information for Tom (2013/I) page, scroll down under the Cast and Crew section to the Other Crew section and to the right, click the drop down menu and change from 'No change' to 'Correct/Delete'. Then go to the bottom of the page and click the blue Continue button.

On the next Update page, to the left of the name, change the Action drop down menu from Keep to Correct. Then click the blue Check these updates button.

On the next Updating Information page, change the name by adding a roman numeral to the right. The submission will look like this:

Garner, Jeremy (II)

Also, click the check box to the left of the statement:
provide an explanation to assist in processing this change

 
Click the blue Check these updates button.

In the explanation box, type a brief statement why the credit is being changed. For example:

Same name, different person.

You can also include the URL of this discussion as proof. Also, acknowledge the yellow warning message by selecting the radio button to the left of this statement:

This is a different person not currently listed - create 'Garner, Jeremy (II)'.

Next, click the blue Re-check these updates button.

The following screen should turn green. Click the blue Submit these updates button.

If accepted, give at least 48-72 hours for the submission to process.

I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any more questions.
