Hiring crew?

Production briefs are read by a person, brief by brief.

MAM fields crew requests from production teams one at a time. We respond with tailored shortlists drawn from the in-house roster, and from the wider MovieLux Media Group network when it gets you to the right name faster.

Productions looking to hire should use the hire page for brief format and timing.

What to send

Five things that make your context easy to read.

A focused application is faster to assess and easier to act on. Lead with these.

  1. Department and role (DP, production designer, editor, sound recordist, and so on).
  2. Reel, portfolio, or project pages we can watch end-to-end.
  3. Three to five recent credits with director and production company named.
  4. The markets you currently work in (UK, EU, US).
  5. One sentence on the kind of productions you want more of.

What happens after you apply

From submission to your first booking.

  1. 01

    We watch your reel and read your credits.

    Within four to ten working days. Read by an agent — not a filter. We’ll work through your reel, your portfolio, and your recent productions before we form an opinion.

  2. 02

    First conversation.

    If the interest is mutual, you’ll be invited to a one-hour call or in-person meeting, so we can understand the kind of productions you do your strongest work on, not just the last credit on your IMDb.

  3. 03

    Onboarding & the first briefs.

    Materials reviewed, positioning agreed, contracts signed. The agency starts putting you forward on live production briefs immediately.
