Jobs & Collaboration – Posting Guidelines & Templates​

Welcome to the FilmPlatforms Jobs & Collaboration section!

This is a space for filmmakers, production companies, freelancers, actors, crew members, and industry professionals to discover genuine opportunities, offer professional services, and build meaningful collaborations.

Please follow these guidelines to keep opportunities clear, relevant, and trustworthy.

1. Where Should You Post?​

Job Offers
Paid job vacancies, freelance assignments, professional positions, and paid internships offered by employers or production companies.

Casting Calls
Casting opportunities for actors, performers, extras, stunt performers, and voice talent.

Crew & Collaboration
Filmmakers seeking creative or production partners, freelancers offering their services, student productions seeking collaborators, and other project-based collaborations.

Film Finance & Investment
Film and television projects seeking investors, financing partners, co-production funding, or strategic financial support.

Please choose the forum that best matches the primary purpose of your post.

If you simply want to showcase your film, screenplay, or creative project and receive feedback, use the Films & Reviews section instead.

2. General Posting Requirements​

Every listing should provide clear, honest, and relevant information.

Where applicable, please include:

• A descriptive title
• The role, service, or collaboration being offered or sought
• The project type and a brief description
• Location or remote availability
• Expected start date and duration
• Required skills or experience
• Compensation or financial arrangements
• Application or contact method
• Application deadline, if applicable

Compensation must be transparent. Clearly indicate whether an opportunity is paid, unpaid, voluntary, or based on revenue sharing. When possible, include the actual rate or budget range.

Do not present unpaid opportunities as paid professional positions.

For investment-related listings, include the project's development stage, financing needs, and the type of partnership sought. Confidential documents and sensitive financial information should not be posted publicly.

3. Thread Prefixes & Opportunity Status​

Select the available prefixes that best describe your listing.

Examples include:

Hiring, Casting, Looking For, Offering, Collaboration, Freelance, Seeking Investment, Paid, Remote, Open, Filled, and Closed.

Please update your listing when its status changes.

• Open: Applications or inquiries are being accepted.
• Filled: The position has been filled.
• Closed: The opportunity is no longer accepting applications or inquiries.

Use only relevant prefixes. Misleading or incorrectly categorized posts may be edited, moved, or removed by the moderation team.

6. Keep Your Listings Updated​

If a position has been filled, a project has been completed, or an opportunity is no longer available, please update your thread using the appropriate status prefix.

Outdated opportunities may be marked Closed by moderators where appropriate. This does not necessarily mean that a position has been filled.

Keeping listings current helps members avoid unnecessary applications and improves the quality of the community.

7. Complete Your Profile​

Completing your FilmPlatforms profile is optional, but encouraged.

A professional profile with your experience, skills, location, and relevant portfolio or IMDb links can help other members understand your background and connect with you more easily.
