IMDb Pro Tutorial for Cast & Crew (edit your profile & add your film)

How to use IMDb Pro (Internet Movie Database)

⭐️ If you do not have a paid account you may not be able to do everything in this video. Keep in mind IMDb offers a 30-day free trial.

🙏 This video came as a request, thanks for reaching out. Feel free to always reach out whenever you're seeking answers on something specific.

A perk about having Pro is that you can look up production companies, agents, and managers to see if they have contact information listed.
