Sound familiar?

The tools never matched the ambition.

Crewing up still relies on phone calls, personal favours, and spreadsheets. Production deserves infrastructure that works as hard as you do.

Common questions.

Is FILMD only for indie or low-budget productions?
No. FILMD serves productions of every scale, from independent shorts to fully funded features and series. The tools are designed for professional workflows, not just passion projects.
Can I see a crew member's work before hiring them?
Yes. Every member can upload showreels, credit lists, and portfolio work to their profile. You can review their experience before sending a single message.
How does the members map work for crewing up?
Search by department, role, location, and availability. The map shows you professionals near your filming location, so you can crew locally and reduce travel costs.
What is accreditation?
Accreditation is FILMD's way of recognising that a member has reached a professional standard in their field. It's not just about credits: it's a holistic assessment of experience, conduct, and capability. Accredited members carry the FILMD badge and stand out in search.
What does FILMD Pay cover?
FILMD Pay (coming soon) handles PAYE, pensions, contracts, and timely payments for your entire crew. No more spreadsheets, no more compliance headaches.
Can I message anyone on FILMD?
You can reply to anyone who messages you for free. Starting a new conversation with any member needs FILMD Plus. No mutual connections are needed either way.
Is FILMD free?
Joining is free: your profile, the jobs board and replies to anyone who messages you cost nothing. FILMD Plus (£11.99 a month, or £119 a year) adds FILMD Accreditation, new conversations with any member and entry to FILMD Grants.
