How to remove a project I'm credited in that doesn't exist?

In film school I created a project that was never finished, though I sent a work-in-progress edit with the cast for their reels. The lead actress created an imdb page for the project, taking a screenshot of herself from the edit and uploading that as the poster. It has been an awkward stain on my imdb profile for many years (https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt8268450?s=6ec9fac7-32f3-439c-7b48-e945abc2abd1&site_preference=normal) as its my first directing credit there. I've written many times to imdb support to try and take this page down as the film doesn't exist, and will never be finished or released, but without any success. Is there any way to take this one down?

Thanks,

AJ

Thanks for your response Michelle.

The information on that page is not accurate as the complete film does not exist, the facts that were used to justify the page’s creation were false. Is there anything that can be done to correct this?

Thanks again,

AJ

@Michelle​ 

Looking at the guidelines for submitting new titles on your website, the page I’m referring to does not meet several key criteria:

“For a work to be eligible for inclusion in the database it must be of general public interest and should be available to the public in the future or have been available in the past.

General public interest is assumed if a work has been:

Released in cinemas Online videos
Shown on TV Video games
Available on a streaming service (e.g. Amazon Prime, Netflix, YouTube, etc.) Accepted and shown on film festivals
Listed in the catalog of an established video retailer (e.g. Amazon.com) Made by a (now) renowned artist or person of public interest

Thank you, I respect your policy. However this credit is not based on correct or factual information, what would be the best way for me to provide evidence of that and prove the illegitimacy of the credit?

@Maya​ as I mentioned before the lead actress from this project fabricated not only the poster but other information in order to create the page in the first place
