THE STORY
Have you ever had a gap in-between jobs, a gap too small to tell colleagues about, but a gap big enough that you’d still like to fill it with work?
Well that’s how this idea started for me.
I had 3 weeks off in between jobs and I wished there was a list that all the location department would check, when they’re looking for crew. In my day dream I imagined, next to my name a little tab, “available for the next 3 weeks”.
Then, when Joe Bloggs needed a last minute location manager for two weeks, he or she would see me and say, “Ahh brilliant, Sam’s about - I’ll drop him a call!”
The more I thought about this idea over my time off, the more I started to realise it could be really useful for people looking for crew, or crew looking for work.
Soon after I started my new job I received a message from a friend, in desperate need of a unit manager for a few weeks… I thought, if only Motioncrews was about!
I hope you find this service as useful as I believe it will be. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve it for everyone, please let me know.

THE DREAM
There is a dream to all this. If this list proves to be helpful to our department I would love to open the service up to all other departments. Helping everyone from costume to camera get the best jobs available.
Can this service be the IMDB of film crew? I guess we'll find out!
