Solved

Recategorize from docuseries to documentary feature

I produced a project entitled Independent Spirits (2025). Although originally conceived of as a 4-episode miniseries, our sales rep and distributors preferred to have it re-edited as a feature film. It has since been released as a feature and will only be distributed as such? How can I update the project's listing from series to feature?

Hello natebarlow Since this is already releases as Peter_pbn mentioned, we will not be able to change the title type for the title. If it gets re released as a Movie, you can add a new title with the details using the online Update Form.

Peter_pbn is correct, we did self-distribute the episodes prior to attaching a sales rep and being picked up by distributors. The feature film version is already available on Amazon & Google Play: https://www.amazon.com/Independent-Spirits-Another-Whisky-Film/dp/B0FKX3ZSHL https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Independent_Spirits_Another_Whisky_Film And going up on other streamers any day (may already be on them). So I should add the feature version as a new title? Or do you mean something else (since you said Update Form, not New Title Form). I'm glad to do so, I just didn't want to incorrectly add a new title and have it considered redundant. Just trying to do things the most correct way possible. Thanks!

Fran seemed to suggest submitting a new title (in the new title form). I was a little surprised by that, and if it's the same material it does seem redundant, but I guess it might be approved.

Hi natebarlow - You should only submit a new title for the feature film if there were significant changes made to the film version (e.g., new footage, different cast/crew, different plot/narrative arc, etc.). If there are no significant changes, and the same content is being shown, then you should instead list the featured film as an Alternate Version on the existing series page. For more information about Alternate Versions, I encourage you to review our Help Guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/alternate-versions/GB7UDDKCAAVFXCXH?ref_=helpsrall# I hope this helps clarify!
