About Film Crew Collective

What is Film Crew Collective?

Film Crew Collective is an online membership platform that connects film and TV crew with jobs, productions and one another across the UK. Members build a professional profile, search a directory of crew, find and post work, and keep up with industry news.

Who is Film Crew Collective for?

It is for professional crew in every department of film and television production, and for the productions and industry supervisors who need to find them. If you work in camera, lighting, sound, production, art, costume, construction or any of our other departments, it is built for you.

Is Film Crew Collective only for crew in the UK?

Our focus is the UK production industry, and our members work on film and television projects across the country.

Which departments are covered?

We cover camera, lighting, sound, grips, assistant directors, production, art department, construction, props, costume, hair and makeup, locations, special effects, visual effects, stunts, rigging. Each department has its own page describing the roles within it.

Joining and membership

How do I join?

Choose a plan and sign up with your details and department. Each new application is reviewed by our team before access is granted, which helps to keep the community made up of genuine industry professionals. If you choose a paid plan, you complete payment before you gain access.

How much does it cost?

The Basic plan is free. Pro is £6.99 per month and Ultimate is £12.99 per month. The Why Join page always shows the current plans and what each includes.

What does the Basic plan include?

Basic lets you create your own profile with your filmography and grading, browse The Marketplace, add crew from your chosen department to your contacts, and enjoy The Stage, with its daily news, Video of the Day and updates from the crew.

What does the Pro plan add?

Pro opens up every department and the full members directory. It lets you see availability and phone numbers where members have chosen to share them, apply for jobs and post your own, take part in conversations on The Stage, use The Marketplace in full and enjoy member discounts. It also includes Personal Accident insurance.

What does the Ultimate plan add?

Ultimate includes everything in Pro, together with the Ultimate badge on your profile, a digital subscription to Cinematography World, free entry to all events with VIP access, and a Film Crew Collective t-shirt and baseball cap.

Finding work and finding crew

How do I find work?

Members can browse jobs posted by productions and filter them by department and role. Pro and Ultimate members can apply directly through the site. Keeping your profile, credits and availability up to date also helps productions find you.

How do I find crew for my production?

Members can search the directory by department and name, and post a job to reach crew directly. With a Pro or Ultimate plan, you can search every department, not just your own.

What is The Stage?

The Stage is our home for industry news, the Video of the Day and updates from the crew. Anyone can read it, and Pro and Ultimate members can post their own updates and join in the conversation.

What is The Marketplace?

The Marketplace is a community listings space where members advertise and find things that matter to working crew, such as accommodation, vehicles, equipment and services. You can also post a Looking For ad when you need something. Basic members can browse it, and Pro and Ultimate members have complete access.

Privacy, safety and insurance

Who can see my profile and contact details?

Profiles and the directory are available to approved members only, and are not open to the public. Phone numbers are shown only where you have chosen to share them, and only to Pro and Ultimate members. You can manage your visibility from your account settings.

Is my personal data safe?

We take care of members’ personal data and explain how we collect, use and protect it in our Privacy Policy, which also sets out your rights.

What insurance is available?

Personal Accident insurance is included with the Pro and Ultimate plans, once your payment is set up, with cover of £500 a week plus a capital benefit of up to £100,000. Optional extra covers are also available to members on request.
