Understanding more about who we are and what do is important to many Crew Members before they register with us.

We began in 1986 out of a small store front in Los Angeles, finding employment leads for production assistants. We were so successful that camera operators, makeup artitsts, assistant directors, and eventually even producers and directors started coming to us for film jobs. As the qualifications of our Crew Membership grew, so did the quality and variety of production companies that rely on us for crew calls.

We no longer just connect people with Hollywood jobs--we place quality Crew Members in art jobs, television jobs, interactive jobs, theatre jobs, industrials, and of course movie jobs. Demand for acting jobs, movie extras, and casting calls have caused us to consider expanding again. The secret to our success has been the quality of our entertianment industry network, and we will always offer services at the highest level of integrity and value to protect that quality. When Filmstaff.com introduces a new service, rest assured that it exceeds the highest standards in the entertainment industry.

Harvard Business School has done a study on employment patterns in the United States, and they found that over 90% of jobs in this country are awarded based on personal relationships, or " Networking ". The old addage of " Its who you know " applies not just to Hollywood jobs but to all vocations in this country. So why is Filmstaff.com -- a job board based on getting access to hundreds of jobs direclty -- is so successful for people like you? Two reasons.

1. Filmstaff.com expands your network in minutes, allowing you to establish relationships it might take you years to create.
2. Producers have grown to trust Filmstaff.com. When a Crew Member uses filmstaff.com to apply for a job, the Producer feels like it is a referral from a friend.

Seasoned pros with Acadamy Award nominations and film school students share the experience that you may have had -- when you talk about your dream job, and you are told to give it up for something more reasonable. It is our position at Filmstaff.com that one important factor in your success is having at least two people believe in you. The first is you. The other is for those times when you, yourself may doubt -- "Am I doing the right thing?" or "Have I chosen the right career?". In our experience, even the most successful entertainment professionals sometimes have these questions.

Filmstaff.com is here as a reminder that your entertainment career is up to you. It does more than feel good, it reminds you that you are the decision maker about your career. Are you going to wait until your next television job or film job finds you? We find that most successful filmmakers and Crew Members do something to give themselves an extra advantage every month. What could you do right now?

Think about this: if the Harvard study is right, that means that you might expext to get 9 jobs through your Network for every 1 you get from applying directly. This means that the value of each person in your Network is about 10 times what you might be paid on any one given job. Even for a production assistant or personal assistant, the value of each person in your network can be over $10,000.00 The value of even one good introduction through Filmstaff.com can be astounding! A One Year Membership pays for itself many times over if you only get 1 job the whole year! That would mean that you browsed over 4000 jobs and only managed to get one. The odds are in your favor. We've had a new member sign up and get three job offers in the first week! We can't promise that that will happen for you, but our network is that strong.

Every day Crew Members and production companies find each other on Filmstaff.com. Our success job fill rate is unmatched. Over 300 entertainment jobs every month are filled. Filmstaff works when you work. It’s that simple.

If you are still not convinced, we offer a one-week trial membership, so you can see for yourself!

Filmstaff.com wishes you the very best success finding the kind of work you love.
