For Directors

You have the vision. Now find the crew.

Post your project, show who's already on board, and let people come to you. Better than a group chat and a prayer.

You have the script. Maybe a lead actor. The shoot date is getting closer and you still need a DP, an editor, a sound person. So you text everyone you know and hope someone's free.

The group chat fills up. "Does anyone know a good colorist?" You get a spreadsheet of names, half of whom you've never met. It sort of works until someone drops out three days before the shoot.

All you really want is to say "here's my project, here's who I have, here's what I need" and see who turns up.

How it works

1

Post your project

Add your film, music video, or doc. Fill in the roles you already have and mark the ones you need.

2

Open roles go live

Your open positions show up to the community. People can see who's already on your team before they apply.

3

Pick your crew

Review profiles and past work. You're picking people you actually want to work with, not guessing from a forwarded number.

Show your existing team

Filled roles display your crew with their profiles. Applicants know exactly who they'd be working with.

Open roles reach the right people

Open positions go out to actors, crew, and creatives on ShortCine. People browsing for projects will see yours.

Review real profiles, not resumes

Applicants have profiles with their actual work, not a PDF someone last updated in 2019.

Invite anyone, even off-platform

Know someone who should be on your team but isn't on ShortCine yet? Send them an invite link. They join and get auto-linked to your project.

I posted my short with just me and my DP listed. Within a week I had an editor and a sound designer, and the best part was they'd already checked out each other's work before joining. That kind of thing just doesn't happen in a WhatsApp group.
