IMDb wrong credit for Booth
Currently over at the Internet Movie Database it lists my John Wilkes Booth short "Booth," as a Japanese horror film, starring Maiko Asano, Makoto Ashikawa, and produced by Fumiaki Furuya. However, according to the IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0778627/), it was shot here in Ipswich, MA.
Basically what happened was, there were three different Booth films, one being my own, the other, this Japanese horror film, and third, a project by some kids from a North Carolina college. My [uncomfirmed] guess is that using all the different people submitting the information, they combined them into one credit. But as we the users of IMDb seperated it (I witnessed the correct page for only one day), it got messed up again, combining my film Booth with "The Booth." Most of my colleagues names have been removed no doubt by the fans of this Japanese horror film, leaving myself, Paul Concemi, Andy, and Paul Proulx's credits.
We have all tried at different points to amend the situation to no avail. However, when I was bored and googled my name, I found this: http://www.laserdisken.dk/html/visvare.dna?vare=2039751319269237
IMDb's idiotic mistakes, have now translated to mistakes on completely different websites!! Part of me thinks this is hilarious, the other part of me is irritated, and then the other part of me gave up long ago and accepted that the IMDb will simply never get "it" right.
Anyways, thought you people might get a kick out of it.
