Thanks for your report!

Here's the big problem for all 4 entries that you created for your films:
TMDb is only for professionally released content!
You can read the full rules here:

As far as I can see, none of your 4 short films is eligible here on TMDb.
They are student films, not properly released through a professional production company, and/or submitted/screened to/at a relevant film festival.
That's why I'm going to delete all entries and close all your reports.

There is no need to do that, all films have been produced by Third Eye Productions with the collaboration of New Bulgarian University and have had at least one screening at the Vlaykova theater and the Cinema House at Sofia, as well as at New Bulgarian University. Please tell me what I need to to to document the proper distribution of the films in order for them to not be deleted.

Hello Anton,

I wrote a direct message to you.
But for full transparency to everyone, I can post the same message here (and add a paragraph).

I watched parts of your documentary "Namibia: A Change of Perspective" on your channel on YouTube:

I also looked at your posts on instagram about the documentary:

I've seen the post about the screening in Sofia in December 2024:

Taking all this info together, I came to the conclusions that

1.) your movie is a personal film project on which you worked alone without any other person.
2.) the production company is your own, not funded by and/or with someone else - it's not a professional business.
3.) the screening in Sofia was a one-single public event, mostly attended by family and friends.

Therefore, it's not a professional film project. Instead, it's an amateur project that you loved to do in your free time - on your own free time and unpaid.

Because it is an amateur project, you have to look at the exemptions from our rules to make it eligible. Your documentary

1.) was not screened at a selective and relevant film festival.
2.) did not have a proper theatre release.
3.) was not on national TV in a country.
4.) was not on Netflix or an equivalent.
5.) was not picked up and sold by a proper distributor.

We could argue about point 2.) - the screening in Sofia. But in my opinion, that's not enough to meet the exception to our rule.

I don't think your documentary meets the conditions of being considered a movie per our rules.

Please tell me what I need to to to document the proper distribution of the films in order for them to not be deleted.

I looked at all the (short) films for which you created entries here on TMDb and concluded that none of these is eligible here on TMDb. "Third Eye Productions" is not a professional production company, the collaboration with NBU means it's a student film, and single-event screenings for family, friends and colleagues do not count as proper screening/releases.

That's why I already deleted all entries.

The only way that you could re-enter the films is when other moderators read this message and disagree with my assessment.
That can happen - it happened before.
So let's see what happens.

There is no need to be rude. I will take into consideration your stated points and will add the films later on with the proper information provided.
