Reviews

What people say

When I first heard about cinematcher through instagram, I thought it was too good to be true. That is until I made a connection through cinematcher for a costume performance of Universal’s new upcoming movie Despicable Me 3. I had so much fun and was able to enjoy something I got paid to do. Cinematcher is now my go to for gigs.”

 

—  Aaron Barrera, Actor

I am both constantly looking for new projects and people to work with, and I like working with people who are nearby.  Cinematcher is a great idea and Lauren Magura has all the energy and engagement to make it work.  I used it for the first time and ended up working with another great filmmaker.  Working with the person I connected with was a pleasure and I would have never met him without Cinematcher.  I’m behind the app 100%.”

—  Rolland Millman, Bright Screen Productions

“The life of a freelancer is a constant search for the next paycheck. Cinematcher has taken the way people connect with each other, and created a platform specifically for our industry. The app allows you to search for jobs, network with other professionals, and get discovered by people looking to hire. It’s what we have all been waiting for!”

—  Chris Capaci, Owner/Operator, Capacity Images

“Cinematcher is a wonderful way to be a freelancer. A first-time user of the app, I was booked within 2 business days of submitting myself for consideration. I had a fantastic time on the gig and look forward to exploring further opportunities!”

—  Melanie Gretchen, Actor

“As a marketing and promotions director, I’m often working on unique, interactive and most importantly deadline-oriented projects.  The direct and immediate connection that Cinematcher provided to creative professionals eagerly looking for work and for experience was incredible!  This app opens up a brand new avenue of opportunity for project managers like myself and for anyone looking to get hired in the entertainment world.”

—  Patrick Mchugh Field Director, Universal Pictures

“ 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… 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.”

—  Jessica Mellow, Makeup Artist/FX Artist
