The global film industry thrives on networking, and while some industry professionals may naturally gravitate toward working with familiar contacts, filmmakers living far from major festivals or industry hubs may find building connections to be an overwhelming challenge. In today’s digital world, opportunities to connect online are more abundant than ever, yet many creatives struggle to navigate these spaces effectively. This webinar provides essential strategies for leveraging virtual networking, empowering filmmakers and industry professionals overseas to build meaningful relationships, access key decision-makers, and advance their careers—no matter where they are based.
Many industry professionals underestimate the importance of online networking or approach it in ways that fail to yield results. Common missteps include using social media passively, sending generic or overly aggressive outreach messages, and failing to cultivate genuine, long-term industry relationships. Without an effective approach, filmmakers and creatives can miss career-changing opportunities simply because they don’t know how to engage the right people at the right time. Learning the right strategies is crucial for standing out in an increasingly digital landscape, ensuring that professionals overseas can compete on a global level.

From Klaus for webinar question: "If possible I’d love it if ‘living overseas’ included living overseas from someplace other than the US. My script material is of particular interest to audiences Oceania – New Zealand, Hawaii, Tahiti and all of the little islands, but I live in the US. Any tips for networking with the (e.g.) NZ film industry?"

Hi, Sydney, I don't mean to be off-topic, but since local screenwriters Christina Wollerman, Brian Edwards, etc., are very preoccupied with other projects, I thought I could turn to you. Did you receive the e-mail I've sent to you last Friday? If so, did you read it? If not, should I e-mail you again?

Hi, Cassie, please resend!
This was a really helpful webinar, Sydney S! Michelle did a fantastic job teaching it! A lot of great advice and insight! The most helpful parts for me were learning how to use IMDbPro better and how to use it to network. Thanks, Michelle!

Thank you, Michelle, for an information packed webinar. I feel as if you pulled the curtain back on information that is obscured from those not in the know.... i.e. new entrants to the industry. I learned a lot and will apply it over the coming weeks. I'm very glad I got up early to listen in live and thank you for answering my questions. Cheers from Australia!
