Except this really isn't applicable. There's little to no chance this will be removed as the title exists. IMDb is a giant database. They won't delete something just because people are now embarrassed about their participation in the title.

The issue comes more from the fact that shouldn't have had an IMDb to begin with. Even the trailer contains copyrighted material. It would literally be illegal to buy sell or screen the film which itself was made public without the consent of its creators. It's less about "embarrassment" and more about it not being an actual film.

Hi.
The advice above by GMJ while technically is correct, will not result in the desire you seek. Removal.
IMDb never removes what they believe is valid data regarding any title, including the title itself and any and all participants in said title.

Would rather be honest with you than mislead you into believing that your efforts suggested above will result in the removal of the title.

You would be rather upset after wasting all that time submitting it.

I've tried to delete data, but it still appears on IMDb. Why?
