NETWORKING
Q: How do you recommend I use the IFP/PHX to network?
A: There are two ways to network: Online and In-Person. To network online, post your profile in the Website Networking Center. Once you do that, you'll also be able to post and read classifieds for crew, jobs, and join discussion forums where you can ask questions and share knowledge with fellow members. To network in-person, attend as many IFP events as possible (Happy Hour and Cinema Lounge, Education seminars, Film Festivals). Most networking is really based on chance encounters that transpire when many people are in one place at a given time. At all IFP/PHX events, contact message boards are available to be used. IFP/PHX also plays Member Demo Reels at all networking events. To submit your demo, fill out the form and mail it in with your tape. This is FREE for members. In addition, enter the film challenges! This is a great way to get your work seen and to meet other filmmakers.
