QUICK CONNECT

Our “Quick connect” feature coupled with Cinematcher’s geographical locator will allow members to instantly match with openings in their area with the swipe of a finger – anywhere in the world.

EVENTS FEATURE

Our events feature allows industry-related events to scroll as a banner on top of ALL users dashboards, allowing them to ‘check in’ and connect and message other attendees.

HIRE & GET HIRED

Users have the option to “Hire” and “Get Hired” simultaneously, categorizing their matches, messages and connections for each. Users can also use our “Diversity and Inclusion” feature to filter diverse matches. We feel strongly about encouraging diversity within the industry!

EXTRAS

Eliminate paid television, radio, and print advertisements for extras! Our “Extras” feature allows users to post the job details, and add in the number of extra needed.

MY PROFILE

Users have the option to connect their profile through their LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter accounts. Users can also add links to their social pages, and more importantly to their IMDb, YouTube, and personal website pages so their digital resume is all within their single profile.

LIGHTS. CAMERA. CONNECT.

Users have the option to swipe right or left to “Connect” with their matches. Once two users connect, they have the capability to message and accept matches, enabling push notifications.

“I am excited to see this app go live. I have been on both sides…not knowing exactly where to find work in-between other gigs, and trying to find people to staff/refer last minute. I feel like this will save a lot of people a lot of time and money, and keep people working more steadily in a field that’s not always stable. It’s definitely a win-win.”

Jeff Ayars

Co-Founder, Cannibal Milkshake Comedy

“Despite the amount of people in New York interested in comedy and film production, finding talented, experienced and reliable help–let alone at the last-minute–can be a nightmare. I’m really excited to see that the geniuses at Cinematcher have seized the opportunity to fill this void. I’m downloading this immediately.”

Andrew Gernhard

Producer, Synthetic Cinema International, LLC

“Being located in Connecticut for our feature film productions, it is very hard to find local crew.  Cinematcher will be able to create a venue in which we can reach-out to these locals immediately and reliably. It has the potential to bring production folks together in a whole new way…the way of the future…the way to more jobs. Cinematcher should have been created years ago!”

Matt Novak

Cinematographer, AE NBCUniversal

“Hunting for the next shoot is a painful process. With Cinematcher the client can come to me. They come knowing my reel, rate, and equipment package without having to go through an awkward hustle. It keeps me behind the lens instead of a job board.”

Mike Lowther

Editor DigiCuts, Film Editor NBCUniversal

“Something the industry has been missing for the longest time is a utility that can connect filmmakers together in the easiest way possible. No more cold calling or lousy Craigslist ads where neither can provide adequate information before you connect with someone. In our field, networking is the key to launching the best projects you can create, and Cinematcher is the missing piece to that puzzle.”

Bryan Denis

Student, Intern Universal Pictures

“As a student in the industry, I look forward to having Cinematcher as a key tool to successfully connect with other professionals in the field. Cinematcher will definitely become an instant hit!”
