In Progress

Known For Titles - Multiple Roles

Hello!

I am having an issue with changing the role that is highlighted in my known for section on films I did multiple things for.

For example, in one of my films I was director AND producer, but in the "Known For" section it is highlighting producer and I want it to highlight director.

I have been reading lots of pages about this, and here (https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/discover-watch/known-for-title-selection/GNL2E4LJVKM9QLMD#) it mentions that this is algorithm based. "The algorithm used to select Known For titles is constantly being improved. Also, the weight assigned to each title within a filmography is recalculated on a periodic basis, so the addition of new credits on someone's filmography will have an impact on their Known For

 titles."

Is there any way to overrule their algorithm and change this? 

Thanks!

Hello @lewbillings,

At this time, the known for titles are automatically chosen and can not be update without an IMDbPro Premium membership.

If you have an IMDbPro premium membership, you claim your page to be able to update the known for titles selection on your IMDb name page. You can follow the steps here.

For more information about membership, check our article.

Hello!

I do have an IMBDPro account (the account i'm using to write this is not my personal).

I have changed the Known for titles, what I am asking about is changing the highlighted role within the films I have chosen. I have attached a photo for reference, the circled role is what i'm referring to when I say "highlighted role"

Thanks.

Hello @lewbillings​,

Thanks for the clarification.

In this case, please share your name page URL for further review. Please also clarify which titles and rolls you prefer to be displayed in the known for section.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @lewbillings,

Could you let us know if you want to see both Producer and Director? Also, could you try to change the profession order to director, producer, writer? If you have questions about Known For professions, please see our Help page.

Seeing both would be ideal.

I will change these profession orders as well. Thank you.
