A great website that was posted in the Google Docs assignment was Mandy.com. I chose this website because of the various services the site offers to filmmakers. This website offers production jobs, casting calls, classified ads, vendors, and a film market in various countries. This site is a great place for filmmakers to seek distribution and buyers for their film projects. A service that is offered by the website is a listing of over 96,000 producers, technicians, facilities, etc.. This service makes it easy for the consumer to locate and secure different staff members needed to produce an adequate production. The fact that it lists all the different services needed in one location helps the consumer to eliminate the search process to locate someone to fill these needs. The time saved could ultimately result in the ability to produce better products and more products in a given time period.
The site also offers the consumer access to a venue to sell their used equipment or purchase equipment that they may need. This allows the consumer to search through a trusted reliable source. It eliminates the unknown of dealing with people that are not credible. Because the sites check out potential clients, it gives consumers a sense of comfort, and saves them numerous amounts of time.
The site also offers casting calls listings for actors. This allows the actors to check for casting calls in the United States for different types of productions for television, film, theatre and radio. The casting listings are available for SAG, AFTRA, and Non-Union actors. This site gives actors knowledge of potential jobs before any other site. The site also gives information about acting classes, digital arts classes, and film festivals.
Mandy.com is a site I would utilize to search for distributors, talent, and crew, and to purchase some equipment I may need for projects.
