UPDATE YOUR CAST AND CREW PROFILE TODAY!

So you've joined the NB Film Co-op. You've taken a bunch of workshops. You've gone to networking events. But you're still unsure how to actually get involved with a film shoot.

One way to get your name out there is to register for the NB Film Co-op Cast and Crew Profile. It's a database where filmmakers can see a list of members who are able to fill in various cast and crew positions. It's simple to fill out and in no time your name will be made available to all filmmakers who are looking for cast and crew for their upcoming projects. It has recently been modified to allow new members with little or no experience create a profile, and it also allows members to fill in a more complete resume if they wish.

It's also beneficial for our more experienced members too. It is a place where commercial filmmakers can go to search for people to hire for paid shoots, and it gives members a platform to self promote themselves and their work.

So please, take a few minutes to fill out your profile and help the Co-op promote you!

This benefit is only for Film Co-op members in good standing, please email Cat to get the sign in information.

REGISTER FOR THE NBFC’S WORKSHOP SERIES!

The NB Film Co-op’s annual filmmaking workshop series presents classes in all aspects of filmmaking from screenwriting to editing to how to become a stunt person in film and television.

Many of the workshops help you learn the production process and where to find the resources to make your first film. The workshops are also filled with personal stories that will help you navigate the New Brunswick film community and your productions as a smart troubleshooter who is ready for anything that gets thrown at you.

Other workshops in the series cover different stages of the filmmaking process and the roles involved in those stages. Learn from professional filmmakers at different levels who are active in their field and connect with fellow workshop participants in this practical hands-on annual series.

All workshops are open to the public. There are discounts for NB Film Co-op members.

The Fredericton workshops have started for 2018. Register today! Check them out online at http://nbfilmcoop.com/workshops

Please email info@nbfilmcoop.com to ensure there are still spaces in any workshops you are interested in taking before you register.

The Moncton and Saint John Workshop Schedules will go up online on the NB Film Co-op workshop link at the end of April.
