'IMDb for Everyone' by Creators Guild of America gives you a shoutout even for small, short-form projects

IMDb, as you’re well aware, is the go-to resource for unmasking the actors, directors, and myriad creatives behind your favorite movies and shows. But what about the countless unsung individuals shaping the digital landscape beyond traditional media? Enter Mosaic, a new, free-to-use platform, launched by the Creators Guild of America (CGA), that aims to be the “IMDb for Everyone.” 

 

Mosaic addresses a critical gap in the digital world: credit attribution for creators working in the ever-expanding realm of short-form content. Platforms like TikTok churn out viral videos daily, yet the photographers, videographers, and editors behind them often remain invisible. Mosaic seeks to rectify this by providing a platform for these creators to claim ownership and build a record of their work.

 

Functioning similarly to IMDb, Mosaic offers individual profiles where creators can list their projects, collaborators, and even brand sponsorships. A key feature is the platform’s emphasis on peer-reviewed credits.

 

To ensure accuracy and prevent misuse, Mosaic requires verification from other creators familiar with the work before crediting individuals on projects.

 

While still in beta, this creator’s “IMDb” might be what the community needs to step out of the shadows. It could also provide added color to copyright disputes, providing verifiable records of their contributions.
