Messaging
A direct line to the people you want to work with.
No agents, no mutual connections, no gatekeepers. Reply to anyone who messages you for free, and with FILMD Plus start a conversation with any member: a first-time director, or the producer shooting ten minutes from you.
Who can message whom
Free to reply. Plus to start.
Every member can answer the messages they receive. FILMD Plus lets you open new conversations with anyone on FILMD.

Why it matters
The best projects start with “I love your work.”
Before FILMD, you needed to know someone, be introduced, or hope a Facebook post got seen. Now you can find the person, message them and start working together.
Anyone, anywhere in the UK
Reach collaborators in every department and region, from student runners in Cardiff to experienced editors in London.
Last-minute replacements
Crew drop out the day before? Find someone on the members map and message them straight away.
Accredited professionals
FILMD Accreditation shows who meets a professional standard, so you know who you're talking to.
Share files and media
Send scripts, headshots, showreels and documents in the conversation instead of emailing attachments.
Safe and moderated
Reporting and moderation tools keep messaging professional and free from spam.
Notifications
Push notifications on iOS, Android and the web, so you don't miss an opportunity.
Production threads. A dedicated thread for each project, so production conversations don't get lost among the rest.

Illustrations of how people use messaging on FILMD.
Pitching a collaboration
Saw your short in the Screening Room. I'm developing something similar and I think you'd be right for the lead.
Finding local crew
I noticed you're based in Manchester too. We're shooting a short next month and need a sound recordist. Interested?
Sharing your work
I've just put my new showreel on my profile. I'd love your thoughts on it.
Agent introductions
I represent an actor who'd suit your production's casting call. Could I put them forward?
Stop waiting for introductions.
