STATE OF THE INDUSTRY
news
The
booking system
Agents
receive a bulk mail for availability of crew
and
CallaCrew send our crew with website links
Production discuss availability with the HOD and
a decision is made on who they book
a decision is made on who they book
The
agents are unlikely to influence the decision of production or the HOD who normally have a preferred crew list which they work
from. They
tend to request the same crew for all their jobs.
If
none of the crew on their preferred list are available, then they might go with
a new crew member.
Our
income is earned from bookings and we strive to get as much work for our crew
as possible.
There are a lot of office costs in listing crew, staff, admin, websites,
marketing etc.
We
do a lot of marketing for our crew, but the best marketing is done by the crew
member themselves, if
they do a good job, they will get repeat work from the production company.
We
are living in difficult times, Corona has effected our international market and
our industry is tough right
now.
Please
don’t blame your agent, we don’t make the crew choices and we don’t create
work, we are doing
everything we can to promote you and get you work.
Work
with us, if you are in a position to book assistants, please consider your
fellow CallaCrew members and
make sure all your records and website are up to date. Promote us as we
promote you.
We
are hoping things will improve soon! Hanging in there with you!
