WHAT DRIVES US
Being in the film industry, we saw the massive disconnect between professionals that want to hire and get hired. The process is lengthy, costly, and has little to no return based off of the demand of individuals trying to break in. The industry is a huge Word-of-mouth community, which makes it sometimes impossible to find talent, or projects if you do not already have industry contacts or an 'in' anywhere. Cinematcher is hoping to become that 'in' for ANYONE who is passionate in joining the industry.
We understand the urgency and need to get things done in an instant. When paying for a location and set, even a few minutes can add up to more money. Having something on your phone that enables you to work instantly, while still on set in ANY location, can revolutionize the entire industry! Our process provides instant results so people can focus on their work and creative process instead of spending hours sifting through irrelevant job posts.
We also understand that the crew members are constantly traveling from city to city, and do not always have stable gigs lined up. Our app will not only enable you to get steadier work, but instant work even if you are just passing through a city on your way home from a shooting another project. We understand the creative minds, and most importantly, the passion and WANT, to be able to work on projects no matter what city they are in, or how much time they will be in that area.
Our goal is to provide a more stable and instant way of finding and creating work, in a not so stable industry. We also want to encourage the hiring of local crew members with our GPS based matches. We know there are local talented crew members that can be used for these productions, they just need the right tool so they can be found. We also aim to open a digital door for people who may not know how to break in.
WHY NOW?
Content creation is massively increasing. Non traditional distribution channels such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc are creating more content which means an increase in productions, and an increase in less traditional shooting areas. New tax incentives and local business benefits are encouraging more productions outside of Hollywood. There needs to be a tool that allows ANY one from ANY background in ANY location to connect for projects easily and instantly. We use this technology for dating, driving, ordering food, socializing etc. Its time our industry starts taking advantage of that same technology.
THE FUNDING
We have gotten hundreds of e-mails from Android users, and we want to work on getting Android launched ASAP. We are also in need of additional funding to help roll out features, and make the user experience and design of the app the best it can be. Unfortunately development is expensive! We want our app to benefit everyone within the industry, so gaining real feedback, and developing and refining features to fulfill that feedback is so important to us.
YOUR SUPPORT
So please help us open a digital door to simplify hiring and getting hired within the Film and TV industry. Every bit counts in helping us reach our goal.
We are freelancers, so we understand times are tough! If you can't contribute, please join our journey by spreading the word to anyone in the industry in all geographic areas by sharing our campaign and/or our app link. YOU, are what will make Cinematcher a success. The more users we have on the app the better the matches and connections will be for you!
