No, I'm on running frog and pro crew too. Work seems more than a little scarce!
I have employed someone found via Mandy.com and continued to employ that person for 4 projects now.
Richard, work does seem pretty scarce at the moment - I was hoping it was because of Christmas, but still not much happening anywhere. Hi Jane, what role was the person you hired for?
I employed a special effects make-up artist to work with my students, some of the results can be see in my reels and photos.
Ah right ok. I was wondering if it was anyone around the area of DOP/camera op. I've not heard of anyone get any work from it before - but I guess it happens.
No, not even a hi, bye, or a kiss my...
Haha, I have been turned down once out of I don't know how many applications... I might try saying my name is Steven Spielberg and my latest project was a little film called War Horse - see if that gets anything back.
as an actor, it is all my own relationships over a period of years working in the industry and agency submits.
I've sent many copies of my resume out via Mandy and never get a response.
Has anyone ever tried a pay to use version? Such as Production Base for example. I'm wondering if it is worth it... Yearly costs of around £100 I believe - so obviously if it works once you have paid for the subscription...
Yes mandy does work. got a job from there
It can work, it seems a bit odd in how it works though.
Networking, LindedIn, MediaMatch (is okay..) and repeated pestering of places that you really want to be working at usually does it.
We hired our dp & several other crew people via Mandy for my feature film "Surviving Family."
Yep. And Craigslist too.
nope, it's worthless to me.
I've used it a couple of years ago. I was contacted by a few people doing work in my local area.
A few years ago I got forty submissions for distribution when I worked at the Luckster Productions for two minutes, and some of the submissions were of good quality!
yes
Had leads, but nothing panned out. I'm sure I gave away a few ideas to 'idea farmers' there.
