ACTORSandCREW.com clears the way for entertainment professionals. Easy to use, builds careers through networking. Instant access to opportunities for employment.
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) November 14, 2005 -- The old Hollywood adage “it’s who you know” has never been closer to the mark. The name of the game in Hollywood from casting to producing and financing, is relationships. The more people you know, and the easier it is to communicate with them, the better.
Today, as the Internet generation takes over the inner workings of the entertainment industry it’s reasonable to expect that the way business gets done, the way crews and productions coalesce, is going to be affected by new technologies.
ACTORSandCREW.com is pleased to announce a unique way for entertainment professionals to promote their individual talent. The idea is to have ready access to others in the industry, regardless of their geographical location, building those all-important relationships. ACTORSandCREW.com is unique because it merges online social networking with online employment.
ACTORSandCREW.com exists as a catalyst entertainment industry networking. It exists to serve the specific needs of entertainment professionals, worldwide. Ninety days post-launch, and ACTORSandCREW.com already boasts members in 60 countries.
“A lot of people in representation feel it’s critical for their clients to go out and network on their own, in addition to the meetings their agents set up,” says Dave Williams, Co-Founder and CTO of ACTORSandCREW.com “The idea for the site was simply inspired by the need for industry professionals to expand their social and professional networking circles, because that more than anything is what facilitates opportunity.”
“If you don’t have an agent, you have to be able to get out there easily or be able to be found easily, and usually that involves a lot of time and resources. Some industry professionals have their own websites, but unless people are searching for them exactly, they’ll never be found. Some people spend lots of money and time on sending out DVD’s of their audio or video reels to producers and directors, or headshots and postcards to casting directors, with little impact because there’s no personal relationship behind the effort."
“ACTORSandCREW.com allows industry professionals to succeed by being easily accessible in a vast searchable database and helps them build relationships by allowing them to create a personal profile – a profile that lets you upload your screenplays, your audio reels, your video assets; it’s not just a resume. This application allows you to start a dialogue with professionals in the industry. That is the first step to building a lasting career in the entertainment business.”
