How do I seach by title? Oct 06, 2009
It’s not necessary to use all the words in the title. For example, you know there’s a movie in development about Harry Houdini. Just type in Houdini and if the name is in the title, the title will pop up. ^top
Why can't I find listings with apostrophes? Oct 06, 2009
The database does not like apostrophes. For example, if you want to know the status of “Where’s Waldo,” type “Where” or “Waldo.” If you type Where’s Waldo, no listing will show up. ^top
How do I search for recently updated listings? Oct 06, 2009
To get a quick view of what’s been modified recently, go to “In List View” and click on “Modified.” All the listings will be in the order of the date modified, from the most recent to the earliest.If you click on the various stages of status, you can further modify your search.
For example: You want to know which films are in pre-production: Place check marks
in “Motion Picture” and “Pre-production.” Then, if you wish to know what the most recent entries are, click on “Modified.”

How do I search by location? Oct 06, 2009
You may search by Location only in “Paper View.” Type in the name of the City, State or Country. It is best to type in the City name without typing the State name. For example: If you want to know about films in the State of Illinois, type “Illinois.” If you want to know about projects in Chicago, type “Chicago.” ^top
How can I see other projects that people have worked on? Oct 06, 2009
When you click on a project in the database, you may click on any name in the crew listed to see what other projects that person is attached to. ^top
