Funding and IMDb Update

Our supporters, Jackie, Anne, and Bridget, just made it possible for us to order more limited edition trading cards, add that awesome series image to IMDb that I mentioned a few days ago, and to lower the funding goals for EP7, EP8 and our quest for nonprofit status! Thank you, ladies!

And speaking of IMDb (that exciting website that believes in our little tv-show-that-could), here's the exciting message I received from Brianne who is handling the "Ghost Sniffers" presence on IMDb:

Hi Jennifer -

Just wanted to send you a quick email and let you know that the "Ghost Sniffers" IMDb page has updated!

It now shows our Season 1 poster as the main image, has Episodes 1-6 (and also 7 and 10, which have begun filming), and shows the cast for all of those episodes!

Some specific information to pass on to the actors, is:

You'll see on the main page that IMDb shows a "series" cast -- any actor/actress who has appeared in more than one episode. IMDb divides the cast this way, not us. This is one of their special formats.

If you've just been in one episode, your name still shows up on that episode's page. From the main "Ghost Sniffers" IMDb page, click 'Full Cast and Crew.' On the lefthand side there is a section titled 'Overview.' Under that heading, click 'Episode List.'  This will show all of the episodes that are either completed or in production (which, for us, means, started filming). Click the episode that you are in, and you'll find your name.

If you appear in a second episode, your name will automatically be placed on the series cast list by IMDb. And it doesn't have to be speaking role. For instance, monsters in the monster cafe scene are all still credited by name.

It would be fantastic if everyone could check out the IMDb page, and make sure there are no mistakes with their name -- whether it's misspelled or missing altogether. Send in your changes to ghostsniffers@gmail.com, and I'll input the changes into IMDb immediately. It looks like it takes them about a week to approve  changes, so the sooner you get them in to me, the sooner you'll see them on IMDb!
