ActorsAndCrew.com
ActorsAndCrew.com is stepping into the freelance employment chasm with an online, robust matchmaking solution for actors and film crews.
With an extensive "Profile", you can match yourself and be matched for New Messages, New Friend Requests, New Referrals and Jobs. Your account helps track all your activities making the site a helpful hub of your professional networking activities.
But like any tool...you must use it on a regular basis to master it! Networking is an ongoing relationship building process. This is a hinge on your door to community that also requires a screwdriver and some screws...that sounds wrong....This is a toolbox in which you put your networking information!
"Seriously, however you define success in the Industry, be it to just do good work, to gain respect, recognition or you're after fame and fortune, ACTORSandCREW can help you on your way," states the founder, Phil Williams in the FAQ page.
You can contact any user through ACTORSandCREW e-mail and message center, instant messenger on-line chat or contact the user directly from their published contact information.
Casting: You can search for Talent by dozens of criteria from Height, Weight, Age, Ethnicity, and Union Membership, Look, Dialects and so on.
Production: You can search for Industry Professionals by dozens of criteria, including Occupation, Unions, Citizenship, State, Zip, Project Experience and much more!
Launched in 2008, the subscription site is quickly adding meaty roles to its Job Search. One quick search for items in my region resulted in gigs for:
"Take a Video Tour" is a smart move. It is the quickest way to access the robust features in the eaiest ways. I tried it on my own...THEN watched the tour. What a waste of my time, even if it was fun to explore. The videos rock!
Watch for Phil and David at tradeshows and short film festivals. They bring their message to the members of the entertainment community on a regular basis. "Our goal is to be the gold standard for entertainment employment", says Phil. "IMDB is great for credits, but their job board isn't very effective. Independents need centralized one-stop-shopping to grow their projects and their careers."
With combined backgrounds in distribution in a major film studio and music, the brothers know the people who have the need -- and their need for a working "networking circle".
The HD quality video is great for reel quality, the advanced search features provide in-depth personal and professional profiles for casting, costumes, ethnicity, weight, height, age, union, projects and credits. "We combine the best practices of casting with social networking," explains Phil. "Every item is hyperlinked and you'll see more talent than you can see anywhere else."
A small monthly hosting fee enables the brothers to continue developing the best platform possible and to become part of the community. With over 7,000 members in 80 countries, your dream team is just a search away!
