I tried submitting "Get A Clue" to IMDb & this is the message that I got back last night:
"This is a specific message about your recent new title submission to IMDb as
indicated in the subject.
NOTE FROM IMDb TITLE EDITORS:
-----------------------------
Online-only requires significant national mainstream press coverage or very
substantial, independently verifiable viewership."
This wasn't a surprising e-mail. I kind of expected it. But I will say this: there are titles and credits on IMDb that I know to be student films from back in my college days. Maybe these student films went to a few film festivals & became short films, I don't know. I'm not saying that those titles don't deserve to be on IMDb. But "Get A Clue" is, essentially, a 30 minute film broken up into 3 minute increments. It was an original screenplay, shot with an experienced crew & professional actors. Basically, if we put all the "Get A Clue" episodes together & released it as a short film we would have more chance of getting it on IMDb.
Food for thought in this ever changing world of online media...

Came to your blog through "Bamboo Killers," Emily Blake's blog, and I just wanted to tell you that I love your profile pic. Ties right into my sense of humor, which is like that. Two weekends ago, I went to a Steve & Barry's in Buena Park and bought a shirt that says "Undercover" across the front.
By the way, since my profile's blank on that AIM page, I comment occasionally on Emily's blog with my full name: Rory L. Aronsky.
Hey Rory! Thanks for the comment -- I'm so glad you like my profile picture. I'm a big fan of wacky detective humor (as evidenced by the web series & blog) -- I just might have to get an "Undercover" shirt of my very own. ;-)
