Creating a New Project

On the Your Projects page, click on "Create a New Project" in the upper right corner. A project entry form will appear where you can input your project details. Please note, all information marked by the red asterisk is required. Once you have entered all the required information, click "Save" to create your New Project. Please note, talent cannot apply to this Project until you create jobs and post the notice.

What information should I include in my Project?

For all new Projects, you will be required to enter: 

• Project Title (if your project does not yet have a title, feel free to enter a working title; e.g. "Untitled Feature Film Project")
• Format
• Union (eligibility/status)
• Start Date

Optionally, you can also enter:

• Description of the project (the description of the project may include your plot and any director's notes)
• Filming Location (country or "Remote" if not On-site)

Can I create a Project to seek Representation?

No, you should only create Projects if you are staffing a new production.

Can my Project be removed?

Yes, per our IMDbPro Subscriber Agreement, IMDb reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove or modify any information transmitted through Project notices, Jobs, or Submissions. Some common violations are:

• Duplicate Projects - Our website prohibits posting duplicate notices as all notices must represent a bona fide employment opportunity. Posting the same notice more than once violates this agreement. (If you need help adding additional jobs to an existing Project, please see "How do I edit an existing Project/Job?")
• Your post may include derogatory/discriminatory language - All notices must adhere to local, national, and international laws. This includes equal employment opportunity and employment eligibility laws. Using any discriminatory language based on age, color, race, religion, sex, or national origin is prohibited.
• Your post may have misleading information - All notices must represent a bona fide employment opportunity. After further evaluation, our staff members believe your notice may possess misleading information as to the validity of the employment opportunity. 
• Your post may have sexually explicit and/or deemed harmful - You are also prohibited from submitting to, posting on, or transmitting through IMDb.com any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law.

Adding a job to your Project

To add a job, you must have created and saved a Project.  Under the Project description, select "Add a job".

A job entry form will appear where you will be required to input:

• Job Name
• Character Type (if this is an acting role) 

Optionally, you can also enter:

• Description (of the role)
• Gender
• Playing Age

You also have the option to select additional job criteria under the Physical Attributes (Height, Weight, Physique, Ethnic Appearance, Eye Color, etc.) and Skills (Performance Skills, Athletic Skills, Accents, Spoken Languages, Musical Instruments, etc.) sections.  It is not mandatory to select these items to create a job.

Once you have entered all the job information, you can either select "Save" to return to the Project or select "Save & Add another job" to add additional jobs to the Project.  Once you have clicked "Save", your job creation is now complete.  Please note, talent cannot apply to your Project or a specific job until you post a notice.

Posting a Notice

After creating a Project and adding jobs, select "Post a Notice".

You have the option to create an "Open Call" or "Accepting Submissions" posting.

Once the Notice Type is selected, you can input:

• Submission Deadline
• Paid
• Pay Description
• Audition Location (or "Remote" if not On-site)
• Special Instructions
• Jobs for the Notice

Once you have entered all the required information, you can preview the Notice before posting by selecting "Preview".

When you are ready to submit, select "Post a Notice". Your Notice will now be public and viewable by all IMDbPro members. The notice is live within minutes of submissions and will expire once the submission or final audition date has passed.

Please ensure your notice is within our Subscriber Agreement guidelines.
