When I created the entry, the interface made the suggestion that IMDB make the best selection and it wasn't. Neither of them are the correct people and perhaps the better thing to do is create a new entry for each of them. I have not been able to change this. Thanks.

So you are saying that the two people with these names who worked on this show are not the people currently listed on IMDb. This is easy to fix.

Start from the main page for Rainbow Families (2015) and click on the Edit page button near the bottom.

Select Correct / Delete from the dropdown beside the 3 sections that have their credits: Cinematographers, Editors,  and Producers.
Click Continue (at the bottom of the page).

Change the Keep: to Correct in the Action field beside the 3 credits for these 2 people.
Click Check these updates.

Change the names to Fiore, Andy (II) and Lindholm, Anna (II) (i.e. add (II) to each one).
Check the box beside provide an explanation to assist in processing this change for each credit.
Click Re-check these updates.

You will now see a warning message under each credit giving several options. Check the radio button beside This is a different person not currently listed - create 'Fiore, Andy (II)' (and the equivalent ones for Anna).
Enter the Explanation for each one, something like:
The Anna Lindstrom who worked on this film is not the same person who is currently listed on IMDb, so I am moving this credit to a new Name page.
Click Re-check these updates.

The background of the items should now be green, and you can Submit these credits.

This type of change normally takes a couple of days, but can take up to a week or even a bit longer. During the move, it is possible that a credit may disappear for a while, so if this happens wait 48 hours before beginning to worry.

Once these Name pages are created, the current ones will have (I) appended automatically. Note that the Roman numeral is used only to differentiate between people with identical names, and it has no other meaning. The numbers are generally added in the sequence in which the Names were added to the database.
