Does anyone know how to submit a film for adding? I have wanted to do this for a while, but not yet attempted to, and I cannot see where to do it. |

I know it's an absolutely idiotic feature...it's usually considered a good thing if you can say the exact same thing using fewer words, but they want you to add filler.
Strangely, my plot outline and an actor I had listed have now cropped up, whereas they weren't there when the film was added. Turns out that I gave the 'spoiler' anyway. I don't think anyone will be too troubled by that, though. |

And now success here. |

Hhmmm, I also gave them the producer/actor listed on the B.F.I. page, and they haven't included him either. |

O.K., will check that out, but the plot is: A man keeps sneezing everywhere (over fellow commuters, at home etc.); his wife tries to get him to stop but he won't, so she takes drastic action and leaves him. It's actually pretty funny - I thought when I saw it that it was a spoof of an information film!

Well done, Sal! Just a thought, but you might add a User Comment which mentions the plot info. Could be helpful, too, for those of us who may want to write a review.

I've added my student films and had mixed luck. |

Whew!

Yes, I have submitted it now. It is indeed a big hassle (and not designed very clearly). I was quite low on the information side, but I did have a British Film Institute page to link to and the film is currently being shown in cinemas, so I've got my fingers crossed. If it is rejected, one of my accolades will not be able to be completed.
Another Bronte film, perhaps?

A word of warning:- You need to know the director's mother's maiden name and what the 3rd cameraman had for lunch on the 27th day's filming. I tried submitting one once, and they rejected it a month later as "insufficient information" even though I knew the name of the film, when it was made, and who made it. |
