DEAR IMDB, I have two videos on my page that I would like REMOVED ASAP PLEASE! They were not posted by me and are not in my videos folder and I need help removing them. There are 2 videos titled Night Falls Over Broadway, and one says it's a trailer but its the whole 11 minute film just like the one that claims it is the whole movie, which is a cheaply made student film shot in one/two takes back in 2004 that I did as a favor for a friend of mine who was in film school at the time. Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter.
Best, Devai Pearce

If you were in those films, IMDb is almost certainly not going to remove the videos.

IMDb is a historical database, and as such the pages for various Names (and Titles) usually contain all the information that IMDb has about them. 'Your Name Page' is not like a page on a Resume service where you can choose what is displayed. You need to think of it not as your page,  but rather as IMDb's page about you.

Sorry, but I think you will probably need to learn to live with those videos.

Thank you for your opinion, David. Let's see what IMDB has to say about it. It can certainly stay up on the film's page itself so that it's still documented, although I am not certain whether or not it should stay up on IMDB at all due to the nature of the content. For example, if a reel had that same material in it, it would have to be marked for mature audiences only and would not be viewable by the general public; only IMDB PRO subscribers would have access to that more explicit footage. I also want to note that back in 2005 the filmmaker had put the film up on Youtube, and I recall it was promptly reported and removed for inappropriate content. It only took days! With this being said, it is my preference that both the video and the trailer be taken down altogether, but if it must stay up, I would at least like to have it promptly removed from my page.

That's beautiful... I would've used a somewhat different vocabulary. =)

Hi Devai -

The information that DavidAH_Ca  provided is accurate.  Videos appearing on a person's page are automatically derived from the titles in  their filmography. In other words, we display links to videos/trailers based on filmography credits, regardless of whether the individual is featured in the video clip or not.

As these videos are automatically linked, we are unable to remove or suppress them from a specific page on a case-by-case basis.

Concerning the content of the Videos, if you feel that these videos should be marked as "Mature", please send a report to our staff by clicking on the 'How do I report video problems?' drop-down below the Video.
