This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

A massive time saver

This resource saves a programme maker like me so much time. All the information is so clear and the personalities are sorted into different categories to make them so accessible depending on what content you need

Correct and up to date.

Finding up to date info for projects is crucial. The handbook is very good at keeping the contacts updated.
So far everyone I have needed to contact is in their database.
Great and useful service 👍

UNREAL!!!

UNREAL. I've used iMDB Pro lots of times before trying to contact people in the industry, but to no avail. But when I suddenly received an email advertising your service, I said "What the hell?" and signed up. I needed to contact a major film star in a hurry, immediately got a hold of his agent, and within hours had already gotten their email address, and only minutes later, a positive response. It's a rather pricey service, but well worth the investment, believe me.

I like it, except for just one thing...

There are sometimes when I will click on a person that I'm looking at, and the page will refresh itself, and I end up losing my credits.
