I'd like to do some advocacy work with the Internet Movie Database, but
they don't advertise any useful contacts on their website. Does anyone
have one?

I'm not sure the initial owners are still working on it from Amazon.

    The first web version of the database went live
    on the servers at Cardiff University in Wales.
    There is a fun bit of e-mail dating back to those
    days between web interface author, Rob Hartill,
    and Col Needham, both impressed when the web
    interface got 100 accesses in a single day. Prior
    to the latest redesign, the IMDb website has been
    serving an average of 65 million accesses from
    over 3.5 million visitors every month. With the
    improvements and new features added in the
    redesign, this could well go higher.

Then on wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Hartill
    "He's currently a volunteer fire-fighter
    with the Country Fire Service and a hobby
    farmer."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_Needham
    "currently is the managing director
    of the Internet Movie Database."


The access to the full database is available on IMDB Web site, and usable only with a very limited license.
