In their new version of IMDb Pro there are plans to downgrade Editors so they do not appear on the front page of a film. The ASE believes that the Editor's contribution to a film is vital and downgrading Editors shows a clear lack of understanding of the film-making process. Please contact IMDb and let them know you think they should keep Editors as a main production credit.

IMDb plays a huge role in this industry and if they start ignoring Editors it is a very dangerous step. If you are on IMDb Pro make sure you are in the new Pro Labs version and go to the feedback link at the top. If you are in normal IMDb find the contact us section down the bottom.

 Spot the difference - No Editor in IMDb planned new look:

Without sub-quotas for Australian content both history and overwhelming evidence from other English speaking countries shows us that there will be no local children’s television and very little local drama and documentary broadcast on our television screens.

The proposed changes are being rushed to Parliament for approval in March 2013. The time to act is now! Please follow this link to sign the petition.

The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy have conveniently created the #converg hashtag to help them listen to our views. Tell them that you don’t support the government’s decision to give the commercial networks a free ride and let them know that Australian content means the world to us.
