The 1 Second Film is no longer listed on IMDb, even though the film has several major celebrities involved, and clearly meets IMDb's criteria for "general public interest."
"IMDb should put these credits in. It's as valid as most of my credits,"- Stephen Colbert
Thanks to the help of our Producer Stephen Colbert, and his persuasive video requesting an IMDb listing, IMDb eventually began listing our credits.
Once listed on IMDb, people around the world browsing our various celebrity producers began stumbling across The 1 Second Film nestled amongst multi-million dollar blockbusters. Following the links to our project, they soon found they could afford to become producers, and thousands of them did. Our film then began to grow virally.
Over 3,000 of our producers were then listed (view IMDb listing screenshot).
IMDb then removed all of our producers for reasons that remain unclear.
Understanding the unique challenge our project poses to data management, The 1 Second Film offered to provide our producer data to IMDb in automated bulk uploads. We also requested IMDb relist our thousands of producers that had already been listed, or at minimum, the credits of our celebrity producers.
IMDb elected not to relisted any of our credits. IMDb then deleted our film entirely.
Reasons Why
Based on IMDb message board posts, it is clear that several of IMDb contributers developed a personal grudge against The 1 Second Film proect. After lobbying to remove our film from IMDb, these individuals also requested Wikipedia to delete our film's listing. However, after internal debate, Wikipedia editors determined that The 1 Second Film was a serious project and elected to keep our entry.

We continue to look into the situation in an attempt to uncover the real reasons why IMDb deleted The 1 Second Film project.
