Great to see more London-based indie projects heating up for the late summer pipeline. Mandy is always a standard go-to, but it’s definitely useful to have these hyper-local listings pop up across different platforms.

Whenever my team is spinning up a new project and looking to expand our post roster whether for Assistant Editors who actually know how to manage clean proxy workflows, or sharp Sound Designers we usually cross-reference a few different places. Aside from Mandy, we've had a lot of success using ProductionHUB and the BECTU Crew Directory for sourcing vetted UK freelancers, though keeping an eye on focused industry boards like this one is always a smart backup to catch talent you might miss otherwise.

Are you guys seeing a noticeable shift in London right now with more indie productions bypass-listing the traditional giant crew sites entirely, or is it still mostly a multi-platform cross-posting game for most PMs?
