Film Databases, Production Directories & Employment Sites
As directories are unlikely to list other film directories, I thought it would be handy to list all I find. It is difficult to arrange them easily as some are international, UK or US only based, web based or book based (remember books?). So I will order them as I comfortably as I can - Let me know if you would like to suggest another way! :)
I have also started to list non-industry employment agencies and sites. Most let you put your CV with them online for free and I have found some are starting to have better media catagories, so could be a worthwhile thing to do if you are looking for work. If it's FREE, why not?
